I don't plan on being bashful.

I don't mean to be bashful, but I was.

You can tell I'm not too bashful about some of my feelings.

I don't always feel comfortable being outwardly aggressive.

Mere bashfulness without merit is awkwardness.

I guess I've never really been aggressive, although almost everybody else in show business fights and gouges and knees to get where they want to be.

Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age.

I understand aggressiveness in only one way: being prepared to hurt yourself, not someone else.

To be honest with you, I don't male-bash. I don't believe in male-bashing. I write about things that are natural, that happen in life.

Aggression is inherently destructive of relationships. People and ideologies are pitted against each other, believing that in order to survive, they must destroy the opposition.
