I was a shy, awkward sort of a boy and my father's frequent absences from home, along with my hero worship for him, made me even shyer.

I see myself being a father, hopefully a husband, but I'm very gun-shy. The older I get, the further the goalpost.

I was very shy as a girl. Absurdly shy, even. Maybe because I was an only child. And I think that's why I'm so happy to have two kids now.

I was a very shy character, always feeling uncomfortable because everybody was stronger than I, and always afraid I would look like a sissy. Everybody else played baseball; everybody else did all kinds of athletic things.

I was a chronically shy child. That kernel of my younger self is still there, but I've developed mechanisms to deal with it.

Sometimes, because of my success, I am afraid that I was not a good father. With the first two I was too strong, and with the other three I was too weak.

When I was a little girl, I was incredibly shy. My hope was to blend in, to fit in, to not be noticed in any significant way. I was deeply insecure and unsure of myself.

I was quite a shy child - not chronically, but I tended to blend into the background.

I was a shy little girl, nothing like what I am now.

I don't think I was all that late in becoming a father.
