A Quote by John Green

I was a fairly shy person - not the hand raising type. — © John Green
I was a fairly shy person - not the hand raising type.
Ironically, becoming known publicly was my biggest fear. And it was partly because I'm on the whole a fairly shy person.
The type of person I am, I mean, I'm fairly jealous.
I remember being chronically shy. I came out of my shell a bit when I went to university, but I'm still fairly shy in company.
If you're not careful people will judge you based on these appearances and they will pigeon hole you that this is the person that you are. Your shy, your aggressive, your this type or that type and you lose the control of the dynamic, they become the ones that determine who you are. A powerful person never loses control of the dynamic they are in someway in control.
I'm generally a fairly shy, withheld person. But when I get onstage, I get a bit mad.
Growing up, I was a very shy, wallflower type. I was not a nerd, but not popular. I was just invisible, like that person you probably didn't know you were in school with.
I've often said there's two kinds of actors. There's a more gregarious type and the shy type.
I don't have a favorite cooking tool. In the kitchen, I always have my pencil and notebook in my hand. I cook more theoretically than I do practically. My job is creative, and in the kitchen, the biggest part of my creativity is theoretical. The pencil has a symbolic meaning for me. The type of person who carries a pencil around is the type of person who's open to change. Someone who walks around with a pen isn't; he's the opposite.
I've always been tenacious. I don't let go of things until I think it's fixed. On the other hand I'm a fairly jovial, smiley person.
I don't feel like it's a time to be shy about raising my voice, and I don't think that the things I'm raising my voice about should be alienating. If it's alienating to a "fan base," then I'm not responsible for that.
I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay. I didn't set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, "I'm different." If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I'm raising my hand.
I was so shy. I used to cross the street so I wouldn't even have to talk to my relatives, much less strangers. That's not shy, that's wise. But I found that that when you had a journalist's notebook in your hand it wasn't really you, you see.
I'm not the type of guy to go out and just say, 'Hey, I'm raising my fist to do this and do that.' I don't think I'm that type of guy. I wasn't a leader the way other people may have wanted me to be.
I'm a fairly happy-go-lucky person, generally fairly optimistic, but there were points when I was down.
I'm actually a very shy person. You'd be surprised how many leaders are shy. They're not all extroverts by nature.
There was a story that came out that Jimmy Garoppolo was one of the first guys to text Trey Lance. That's just the type of guy Jimmy is. He's not going to shy away from adversity, shy away from a draft pick.
