I never wanted to sing. I just wanted to play rhythm guitar – hide in the back and just play.
Kurt CobainI have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel.
Audrey HepburnI bought a gun and chose drugs instead.
Kurt CobainI’m very low-key. I don’t really blend in, so it’s difficult to go out in public. I like to do things that are kind of quiet, whether it’s a dinner at my house or a restaurant, or a movie night at home.
Dwayne JohnsonSometimes I’ve been to a party where no one spoke to me for a whole evening. The men, frightened by their wives or sweeties, would give me a wide berth. And the ladies would gang up in a corner to discuss my dangerous character.
Marilyn MonroeMost women put off entertaining until the kids are grown.
Erma BombeckI have an urge to communicate. I think I’m a change from what it would be like dating a normal guy who doesn’t talk too much.
DrakeIf I read a book that impresses me, I have to take myself firmly by the hand, before I mix with other people; otherwise they would think my mind rather queer.
Anne FrankI am rather inclined to silence.
Abraham LincolnWhen 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.
Taylor SwiftI’ve always been a loner.
Kevin GatesI’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.
Conor McGregorI tend to stay up late, not because I’m partying but because it’s the only time of the day when I’m alone and don’t have to be performing.
Jim CarreyWhen I was growing up, I wasn’t an extrovert. If anything, I was an introverted kid and a very average pupil at school. I was very quiet.
Clint EastwoodPersonally, I don’t wear fur.
Karl LagerfeldI’m an introvert… I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, the sky.
Audrey HepburnNow I do whatever I want.
Bad BunnyI’m not a person that socializes very well.
Paulo CoelhoThere is no such thing as a pure introvert or extrovert. Such a person would be in the lunatic asylum.
Carl JungLiberty is the right to do what I like; license, the right to do what you like.
Bertrand RussellI think people should be allowed to do anything they want. We haven’t tried that for a while. Maybe this time it’ll work.
George CarlinI’m an introvert somewhat. There could be a room full of people, I’ll go stand in the corner.
Kevin GatesI 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.‘
Taylor SwiftIf you can’t move and talk to people that you see, it’s not really my scene.
Stephen CurryI don’t really like being in the centre of attention.
Greta ThunbergIf 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.
Tom BradyI am an introvert; privately I am very shy, and I don’t speak unless I have to.
Greta ThunbergEvery man should know, if you’re comfortable and you like it, you should do it. Everyone always worries about what the girls think, what the guys think. If you like it, do it.
Tom BradyHostesses who entertain much must make up their parties as ministers make up their cabinets, on grounds other than personal liking.
George EliotI mean, I never liked being told what to do. It’s one of the reasons I dropped out of school.
Dave GrohlI’ve been called a recluse. There’s definitely truth in that. I like to spend time alone.
Kendrick LamarI 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.
Anthony HopkinsIf anything, a lot of electronic music is music that no one listens to at home, hardly. It’s really only to be heard when everyone’s out enjoying it.
David ByrneMaybe ‚loner‘ is too strong a word, but I’ve always enjoyed being on my own.
George BestI believe in only one thing: liberty; but I do not believe in liberty enough to want to force it upon anyone.
H. L. MenckenIt’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.
Taylor SwiftLike Frank Sinatra, I’m doing it my way.
Mr. TI was in enough to get along with people. I was never socially inarticulate. Not a loner. And that saved my life, saved my sanity. That and the writing. But to this day I distrust anybody who thought school was a good time. Anybody.
Stephen KingI’m a very private person. I don’t go out much. I’m home with kids. I go to work. I don’t really like being the focus of attention, which is why I like being behind the camera more.
Angelina JolieMostly I stay at home from the morning until 5 P.M., and I only go out for fittings and shoots because I work at home. I like to be alone.
Karl LagerfeldSelfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.
Oscar WildeYou know, I just do whatever feels right to me! And so that’s what you’re gonna get!
Bruno MarsI 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.‘
Taylor SwiftEuropeans are much more serious than we are in America because they think that a good place to discuss intellectual matters is a beer party.
Richard P. FeynmanI am a bit of a solitude person – a solitary personality. I like being on my own. I don’t have any major friendships or relationships with people.
Anthony HopkinsI’m not a natural joiner.
J. K. RowlingI don’t concern myself with award. I’d been to the party enough times to know it really didn’t matter.
Denzel WashingtonI’ll never feel comfortable taking a strong drink, and I’ll never feel easy smoking a cigarette. I just don’t think those things are right for me.
Elvis PresleyI don’t have a need for speed. I’m not that guy.
Dwayne JohnsonI’m not a politician. And I don’t want to be.
Dolly PartonI think I became more productive through not having children. I never really had the desire to have them. My husband didn’t want them either, so it worked out well.
Dolly PartonI’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.
Adam SandlerUltimately, who you choose to be in a relationship with and what you do in your bedroom is your business.
EminemMany people would be surprised that, in fact, I’m quite shy.
Desmond TutuI don’t really like talking. I like to execute. I’m not a talking person. I’m an action person.
Kevin GatesI was always respectful of people who were deeply religious because I always felt that if they gave themselves to it, then it had to be important to them. But if you can go through life without it, that’s OK, too. It’s whatever suits you.
Clint EastwoodA prohibitionist is the sort of man one couldn’t care to drink with, even if he drank.
