I am basically a shy person, so performing sometimes helps me focus - having all those people concentrate their attention on you. I don't see it so much as becoming another person onstage; it's more exploring a different side of your personality.

Kim Gordon

I think of myself as quite a shy person. But when I'm curious about something, I'll go quite far to satisfy my curiosity.

Alain de Botton

Us Tis Think

I'm actually quite a shy person and it's becoming clearer to me. Sometimes I would like to disappear, maybe only for an hour.

Aldous Harding

Time Would Times

I'm still a shy person. I've learned to put that aside on certain occasions. I have to. It's part of my job.

Alexis Bledel

Art Till T

My husband and I have known each other since kindergarten. I had a crush on him in school, but we never dated. Then we saw each other again after high school, and there was something instantly familiar about him. I'm a very shy person and was very closed off. But he allowed me to be myself. And there's a safety in that.

Alison Sweeney

Relationship Art Wed

I'm actually a pretty shy person in real life with new people.

Allison Janney

Life Wit T

I would like to believe that I still am a shy person; I am very introverted. I have a problem communicating.

Amitabh Bachchan

Would Very UN

I'm an introvert and a shy person.

Amyra Dastur

T Son Shy Person

I like to have my privacy. I don't like people knowing what I do in my free time. I am also a very shy person, but I understand that people want to know more.

Ana Ivanovic

Time Wing Win

I've never been a very flashy person.

In personal life, I'm quite a shy person and keep things to myself.

Anirudh Ravichander

Life Things Thing

I've always found Mr. Disney to be somewhat of a shy person, a kid at heart.

Annette Funicello

Art Ways Way

Honestly, I am a shy person.

Blake Lively

I'm quite a shy person.

Bobby Deol

T Son Shy Person

It's no secret I'm a shy person.

Britney Spears

T Son Shy Person

As a child, people were always trying to photograph and film me because it's a way for a shy person to find themselves.

Bruce Weber

Yin Were Ways

I wouldn't say I'm a shy person, but I like my privacy.

Cameron Britton

Would T Son

I'm not a mushy person at all.

Carrie Underwood

Us T Son

I'm a very shy person towards my intimacy and private life.

Charlotte Gainsbourg

War Life Very

Some people are just quiet - they don't need to be talking all the time and aren't extroverted, but they're not necessarily afraid to talk. I'm not really a shy person.

Chirlane McCray

Time Us Tim

My job is designing shoes. It's work that happens behind the scenes, as they say, and that suits me just fine because in general I am a shy person. But sometimes I have these extroverted outbursts.

Christian Louboutin

It's just so hard growing up: you go through things, especially acting - I go to a different set every couple of months, and you meet an entirely new group of people that are around you 24/7. It's not an easy situation to go into when you're a shy person.

Danielle Macdonald

I was born in Copenhagen, and when I was a year old, we moved to Bangalore. I was always a shy person and was happy with just a few friends and that came from my own social awkwardness. I did not know how to make conversations.

Deepika Padukone

I am really a very shy person. If I appear, it is because of the music, not because I want to be seen.

Enya

I don't know if I want to walk down the street and have everyone staring. I think that would be awful. I'm a pretty shy person, really.

Essie Davis

Not only am I a shy person, I take a little while to say what I mean, especially in a social situation, and usually those move too fast for me to say anything at all.

Ezra Furman

I'm a shy person whose very presence has become a confrontation. I think that's true of a lot of queer people.

Ezra Furman

I grew up in a humble family with a shy personality.

Fethullah Gulen

I was an underwear model for Calvin Klein for a few years. It is not something I wanted to do at first. I never regretted it, but I am a shy person, and to stand there buck naked in front of a camera was scary.

Freddie Ljungberg

I want to resume the life of a shy person.

Garrison Keillor

While I'm really proactive when it comes to managing my projects, I am a shy person.

Gauri Khan

I'm quite a shy person, but I know I'm a good football player. That's just the way I am. That's the way I grew up. My grandmother brought me up, and she is the same way. She's understated, but she knows what she's worth.

Georginio Wijnaldum

I'm actually a very shy person, which is why I always chose to be in the kitchen. You can make people happy and entertain them, without really being there. You can make a very short appearance and then say, 'I've got something on the stove, gotta go!'

Giada De Laurentiis

With me, I'm quite a shy bredda, so it's when I get to know someone - just like any shy person - you just open up more.

Giggs

I'm a very nervous, shy person.

Grimes

I really hate being recognised. I'm quite a shy person, and I'm not very good at talking to strangers. So when people come up to me in the street, I just find it quite awkward. I don't really know what to say to them.

Hannah Murray

I was this very self-conscious, shy person once I hit my teens.

Ileana D'Cruz

He was a very quiet and shy person but that drum kit gave him that voice. 'Bonzo' was the guy in Zeppelin. John was my dad.

Jason Bonham

I am a very shy person.

Javed Ali

The only thing I can do is act, but it's not something I even feel comfortable doing. It costs me a lot, because I'm a shy person, even if I don't look it.

Javier Bardem

I grew up Catholic, and I am a pretty shy person.

Jay Duplass

It was an interesting process trying to get Bob to talk about the film because he's such a shy person. He generally likes to talk when he really knows he has something to say.

Jay Roach

I actually think of myself as quite a shy person, although I know I give the impression of someone much more confident. I think what I do have is a capacity to listen to the other, even if the other is an opponent. That leads, in all senses of the word, to an engagement.

John Berger

If I do a portrait, I know what they can take. If somebody's a sweet, shy person, the photographs will be sweet and shy. Of course, you ask people to do something which they might not have done before, but that's the journey, the fun element.

Juergen Teller

I am a shy person who is not very okay with the camera.

Kalyani Priyadarshan

Ironically, becoming known publicly was my biggest fear. And it was partly because I'm on the whole a fairly shy person.

Katharine Gun

I'm a relatively shy person, but I love being challenged and putting myself in positions that are scary.

Kim Gordon

I am basically a shy person, so performing sometimes helps me focus - having all those people concentrate their attention on you. I don't see it so much as becoming another person onstage; it's more exploring a different side of your personality.

Kim Gordon

Being a shy person, I always felt strange outside with my camera.

Kim Weston

I was quite a shy person growing up, and drag was very much a shield for me to perform behind.
