It's kind of weird - I get shy when I'm around new people, still, even when I'm onstage. I come from not really wanting to be in lights or known or in front of people.

I've been able to perform in front of thousands of people on stage in a character that's nothing like me. I'm very shy.

From the core, I'm a shy person, but when I'm on stage, I know how to put it aside. Of course, I'm not perfect, but I've definitely grown as far as being comfortable on stage.

I was always shy and had a huge fear of being onstage.

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

I'm very shy, and I shy away from people. But the moment I hit the stage, it's a different feeling I get nerve from somewhere; maybe it's because it's something I love to do.

I'm kind of shy, and I think that I take that out by performing in front of a lot of people. That's how I get out my shyness.

I think a lot of singers are shy people. I suppose singing on stage is not like talking; you are not as exposed.

Stage-persona notwithstanding, I'm extremely shy and quiet. Almost painfully shy. People misinterpret that as being above it all or not interested.

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.
