I don’t really like being in the centre of attention.

I’m not comfortable being around too many people. I don’t like being out in public too much. I don’t like going to bars. I don’t like doing celebrity stuff. So most of the characters I play are people who don’t always feel comfortable beyond their small circle of friends.

There is no such things as ‚best‘ in the world of individuals.

I don’t call up the press and say, ‚Look at me!‘

Dude, maybe not everyone loves ‚Glee.‘ Me included. I watched 10 minutes and it wasn’t my thing.

I like to walk around with bare feet and I don’t like to comb my hair.

Even as a child, Muhammad Ali got perverse pleasure out of being different. He liked the attention it got him, but most of all he just liked being himself: odd and independent.

If you can’t move and talk to people that you see, it’s not really my scene.

When I was a kid, I never did funny things to get attention. I was never a funny person. I was never, like, ‚Oh, wow. I could say this some day on stage.‘

I know this sounds strange, but as a kid, I was really shy. Painfully shy. The turning point was freshman year, when I was the biggest geek alive. No one, I mean no one, even talked to me.

It seems the only way to gain attention today is to organize a march and protest something.

My movies just kind of sneak up on you. I don’t have to worry too much about what everybody is going to say. Anyway, I really don’t pay attention to what the world says about my movies. I just care about what my buddies think.

The time when most of you should withdraw into yourself is when you are forced to be in a crowd.

I’m not a natural performer or exhibitionist. When I was younger, I hated the focus, and it made me feel strange.

My friends and I had fun together, but I was more reserved, not at all the life of the party. I would just be the quiet one in the room.

I don’t go to parties in general.

Sometimes it’s Tune-berg, sometimes Thunn-berg. I mean, I think it’s funny that everyone pronounces it differently. So, that is just – I don’t mind anyone pronouncing it wrong. There’s no wrong way to pronounce it. Everyone pronounces it in their own way.

When I am talking to people who I feel don’t like me or are mean, I get really shy, and I kind of curl up personality wise.

I’m personally more struck by visual things more than musical.

I’ve always felt like there was a lot of hype around me even when there wasn’t. I felt like everyone was talking about me even when no one was talking about me.

I’ve always liked older ladies, ever since my mother would have B’nai B’rith at our house.

It is hard sometimes to always be at the centre of attention, but when you talk about me you also have to talk about the climate.

All styles are good except the tiresome kind.

I always try to be myself. Ever since I was an introverted kid, I’d get on stage and be able to break out of my shell.

A lot of people don’t like the road, but it’s as natural to me as breathing.

I always tell people that if I move anywhere it would be Toronto.

I like to have guns around. I don’t like to carry them.

I think I’ve developed, as many people do, this sense of, ‚Don’t say the wrong thing, or else people will point at you and laugh.‘

Too often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.

I don’t like to get involved in things that I am not familiar with. I’m kind of a hands-on type of person.

Frankly, if I could get away with not having to perform, I’d be very happy. It’s not my favorite thing to do.

It’s human nature to not say everything that’s on your mind at the time you think it. Because we fear saying something that people will laugh at, people will think is dumb. We’re afraid of being embarrassed.

The voice I use is a very old hardware speech synthesizer made in 1986. I keep it because I have not heard a voice I like better and because I have identified with it.

I do the dishes every night – other people volunteer, but I like the way I do it.

I don’t like celebrities; I don’t hang out with them; I don’t relate to that life.

I am an introvert; privately I am very shy, and I don’t speak unless I have to.

Everyone carries his own inch rule of taste, and amuses himself by applying it, triumphantly, wherever he travels.

I don’t have many friends; I’m very much a loner. As a child I was very isolated, and I’ve never been really close to anyone.

I’m not really a Hollywood person. Not that I don’t like L.A., but I’m just a Northern California guy.

If I feel anxious every time someone is staring at me, well, I can’t control what they stare at, but my reaction is, I’m just not going to go outside the house. I’m going to stay in and chill. And when I do go out, I understand what comes along with that.

I just grew the hair on my back. Facial hair just wasn’t appealing to me. I liked it on my back, though.

I’m not a person that socializes very well.

I’m an introvert somewhat. There could be a room full of people, I’ll go stand in the corner.

I don’t crave applause. I’m not one of those guys who comes alive on stage. I’m much more alive at home, I think.

I don’t ever feel like the cool kid at the party, ever. It’s like, ‚Smile and be nice to everybody, because you were not invited to be here.‘
