I'm not shy or reclusive. I just spend my time with people rather than journalists.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I make friends faster and easier than journalists.
I'm shy, but not on a one-to-one basis. Over the years, I have become acclimatised to a bit of publicity.
I've been avoiding journalists my whole life.
I don't like journalists and I hardly ever talk to them.
I'm not shy, exactly, but I am private. I don't like to talk about myself. I had to learn - I was interviewed for print, radio and even TV.
The truth is, I don't have any problem with journalists - I count some of them as friends - also some of my heroes are journalists, I'm a big fan of Robert Fisk - great people or crazy people who are prepared to stand up for what's right.
I'm always shy and timid when I write in front of people.
I always like to have a buffer between me and journalism in general. Not just a reporter, but journalism.
I was so shy. I used to cross the street so I wouldn't even have to talk to my relatives, much less strangers. That's not shy, that's wise. But I found that that when you had a journalist's notebook in your hand it wasn't really you, you see.
I'm totally not media shy and do interviews all the time and go to events and totally play along and actually enjoy talking to journalists most of the time.
