I'm guarded; I don't talk much.

I wish I trusted people more. But when I meet someone, the first thing is, 'What does this person want?' And I put up a defense mechanism. But I've always been that way.

I'm very protective of how much I let people see.

I'd like people to get a sense of who I am, yet I want to keep my privacy, too.

This may come as a surprise, given the nature of my job, but I am very guarded and contemplative. I'm not a naturally boisterous person.

I'm not a security-type person: I don't want to have bodyguards around me. I'm not into all that.

If people want to know who I am, it is all in the work.

My security comes from my senses, my sensing the direction I should go and suddenly I felt out of tune, out of step with what other people wanted or what other people expected of me.

We are all, in a sense, experts on secrecy. From earliest childhood we feel its mystery and attraction. We know both the power it confers and the burden it imposes. We learn how it can delight, give breathing space and protect.
