When I'm not on stage, I'm kind of shy. If you see me and I don't say much, don't think I'm not taking in what you have to say. I'm just not a big talker.

I'm very quiet off stage.

I tend to be sort of quiet and shy and awkward in social situations.

Basically, I'm a shy human being. Very introverted.

I've always been quite shy. Very confident but very shy.

I'm a very nervous, shy person.

I'm not shy. I'm quiet. With my close friends. I talk a lot. But if I'm at a big dinner, I'm not gonna walk in and go introduce myself to everybody.
