I'm not confident in social situations; just going up to someone in a bar and saying 'Hi' is going to be even more difficult because they won't know the real me. They will just know me as a fictional person I play on the screen.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am not as confident as the characters I play. I am a bit aloof. I am uncomfortable in social situations.
People come up to me sometimes and ask for a picture but don't even say hello. They sort of forget that I'm a person.
Occasionally people will look at me and do a double take and they'll look at me like they're trying to think where they know me from.
Every now and then, people will recognize me at restaurants or Universal Studios or something. I'll always take a picture with them if they want. I mean, that's what telling stories and acting for a living are for - for the people.
Sometimes you have to get to know someone really well to realize you're really strangers.
I meet people on the street or at book signings and they tend to treat me as if they know me, as if we're connected. It's great.
I'm always a little worried when people have met me in person because I'm worried they'll be disappointed.
A lot of people may know my face and know that I'm a good player on the football field, but they probably don't really know me as a person.
I'm pretty good with not being afraid to just go up to people and introduce myself.
I always try to make myself be very approachable and easy to talk to, so hopefully people will feel that they can approach me.
