I'm quite gregarious. But when it comes to relationships, I mean, I'm no good at it. I suck at it. And people say I'm way too hard on myself, but I always feel like somebody else is going to say it if I don't. Why not just beat them to the punch so it doesn't hurt so much?

John Grant

I've often said there's two kinds of actors. There's a more gregarious type and the shy type.

Al Pacino

It's a marvellous life, a gregarious life that we've had. We're very lucky in that way. Unlike writers or painters, we don't sit down in front of a blank canvas and say, 'How do I start? Where do I start?'

Albert Finney

I was an open, smiley and gregarious child. I could make friends in 30 seconds wherever I went.

America Ferrera

I don't ever think of myself as coming from a particular class because my father was working class but made his living as a newspaper foreign correspondent - someone of no fixed abode, as he used to say - who was as comfortable dining with the Mountbattens in India as he was having a pint with the boys. He was very gregarious.

Anne Reid

When they tried me out as a host on TV, I found that I just couldn't be that gregarious person. I was stranger than that.

Barbra Streisand

The majority of cats are very gregarious - they love each other so much; they enjoy living together and grooming each other.

Celia Hammond

I'm not very good at talking and being with people and being gregarious and outgoing. I love people, but I have great difficulty doing it.

Charlotte Rampling

I dearly remember the old days... Fleetwood Mac had this one-of-a-kind charm. They were gregarious, charming and cheeky onstage. Very cheeky. They'd have a good time.

Christine McVie

The last time I saw Ted Kennedy was a generation after my first meeting, at the Senate subway below the Capitol on Obama's Inauguration Day. He was his usual gregarious and gracious self - with beaming smile and booming voice wishing my husband and me good luck with our pregnancy and expressing his excitement about the new president.

Christine Pelosi

My father was an individualist, and I took after him. At school, however, one is forced to be gregarious. I didn't resent this, but I didn't particularly enjoy it, and whenever I could, I withdrew into my own private world.

Christopher Robin Milne

I wish I was a little more gregarious and outgoing.

Dan Fogelberg

Kevin Smith is so great in 'Kingdom Come,' isn't he? He's kind of this very earthy poet. He just has this immediate gregariousness, like, you kind of just want to be his pal.

Daniel Gillies

Directing is extrovert and gregarious; writing is isolating, introverted, and lonely.

David Farr

I was never particularly gregarious. I was quite shy, closed in. It's a classic isn't it, your psychiatrist will tell you, that's how I release it, through music.

David Gilmour

I'm not gregarious. I spend a lot of time in the parks when it is fine. I do know almost every blade of grass.

Dennis Skinner

My father was a very warm, gregarious, sociable person who had many interests. He lived his life very much in the present, full of activities and the next project. He had many hobbies. He was not given to retrospection.

Diana Quick

I am far more of a loner than people would imagine. But I am the most gregarious and socially interactive loner you ever met. The thing is, I am fascinated by people's stories and I'm very talkative and can't ever say no to anything or anyone, so I tend to over-socialize, to give away too much of my time to the many people I adore.

Elizabeth Gilbert

I am tired of angry feminists. I like my women happy, gregarious... and bathed.

Evan Sayet

I'm not a very gregarious person. I can't bear attention being called to me in a public place, which is ridiculous in a business that pays you to be noticed.

Gabriel Byrne

There is something terribly wrong with a culture inebriated by noise and gregariousness.

George Steiner
