I also wonder how I got this far in life. Growing up, I never knew what I wanted to do. I was not a terribly good student or a very vivacious, outgoing person. I was just kind of a backward kid. I grew up in various little towns and ended up in Oakland, California, going to a trade school. I didn`t want to be an actor, because I thought an actor had to be an extrovert - somebody who loved to tell jokes and talk and be a raconteur. And I was something of an introvert. My mother used to say: "You have a little angel on your shoulder." I guess she was surprised I grew up at all, never mind that I got to where I am. The best I can do is quote a line from Unforgiven (1992): "Deserve`s got nothing to do with it."
- Clint EastwoodI`m probably the most introverted extrovert you`ll ever meet. Up until I got this show I was constantly told, `She was really good, but she`s just not cute enough.`
- Nikki CoxI`m an introspective person. I`m not an extrovert.
- John ThawI was an introvert in an extrovert profession.
- Robert Young(Describing himself as a) big-time extrovert, ... The last thing I want to do ... is offend people and ostracize myself.
- John RockerI`m going to cry until I get another job. I want to do more movies. I feel like it`s a totally different skill set than there is to theater. It`s much more internal. I`m an extrovert, I like to gesticulate and talk loud and stuff, and the theater is easy for me. I can go up there and spread my legs and go, `Here I am`. Oh, don`t get that wrong. Whereas in cinema you have to be much more thoughtful, and I find that a lot more challenging.
