When 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 EastwoodI 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 SwiftEvery 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 BradySelfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.
Oscar WildeMany people would be surprised that, in fact, I’m quite shy.
Desmond TutuYou know, I just do whatever feels right to me! And so that’s what you’re gonna get!
Bruno MarsPersonally, I don’t wear fur.
Karl LagerfeldA prohibitionist is the sort of man one couldn’t care to drink with, even if he drank.
H. L. MenckenI’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 McGregorMostly 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 LagerfeldI am an introvert; privately I am very shy, and I don’t speak unless I have to.
Greta ThunbergI 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 EastwoodThere is no such thing as a pure introvert or extrovert. Such a person would be in the lunatic asylum.
Carl JungI 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.
DrakeI’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 PresleySometimes 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 MonroeLiberty is the right to do what I like; license, the right to do what you like.
Bertrand RussellI’m not a person that socializes very well.
Paulo CoelhoI bought a gun and chose drugs instead.
Kurt CobainIf 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’m an introvert somewhat. There could be a room full of people, I’ll go stand in the corner.
Kevin GatesI’ve been called a recluse. There’s definitely truth in that. I like to spend time alone.
Kendrick LamarEuropeans 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 mean, I never liked being told what to do. It’s one of the reasons I dropped out of school.
Dave GrohlI’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 JolieI believe in only one thing: liberty; but I do not believe in liberty enough to want to force it upon anyone.
H. L. MenckenI 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 PartonLike Frank Sinatra, I’m doing it my way.
Mr. TI’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 HepburnI don’t concern myself with award. I’d been to the party enough times to know it really didn’t matter.
Denzel WashingtonI 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 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 HopkinsI 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 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 JohnsonNow I do whatever I want.
Bad BunnyI’m not a politician. And I don’t want to be.
Dolly PartonI am rather inclined to silence.
Abraham LincolnIf you can’t move and talk to people that you see, it’s not really my scene.
Stephen CurryI’ve always been a loner.
Kevin GatesIf 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 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 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 don’t really like being in the centre of attention.
Greta ThunbergI 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 SwiftI’m not a natural joiner.
J. K. RowlingI 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 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 don’t have a need for speed. I’m not that guy.
Dwayne JohnsonUltimately, who you choose to be in a relationship with and what you do in your bedroom is your business.
EminemMost women put off entertaining until the kids are grown.
Erma BombeckMaybe ‚loner‘ is too strong a word, but I’ve always enjoyed being on my own.
George BestI don’t really like talking. I like to execute. I’m not a talking person. I’m an action person.
Kevin GatesHostesses who entertain much must make up their parties as ministers make up their cabinets, on grounds other than personal liking.
George EliotIt’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 SwiftI’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 SandlerI never wanted to sing. I just wanted to play rhythm guitar – hide in the back and just play.
Kurt CobainIf 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 Byrne
