I think most actors are shy. I really do. The greatest actors can disappear. I had friends call me the Blend-In Man.

A lot of good actors tend to be quite introverted as people.

I've never had a desire to be famous. Lots of actors are actually extremely shy. I have shy areas.

Acting attracts shy people and show-offs.

Some of the greatest actors on the planet are the most insecure people. Now I don't know if that insecurity necessarily equates to a lack of confidence. Some people are just very shy individuals. You give them a character to play and a script, and you put them in front of a camera or on a stage, and they just go.

I continue to be very shy. I think a lot of actors and performers are really weird, shy people working it out onstage. I don't know why that is.

I think most actors are insecure and scared of rejection.

My problem with being an actor was that I was far too shy to actually do it.

I say I'm not shy, but... Acting is a very vulnerable experience, and you've got to be really confident to put yourself out there to be judged.

Actors, you know, they're often awkward people in real life.
