I'm used to performing. I'm comfortable in front of people. I'm never the one who's fighting for attention, but I've always been comfortable.

Anjelah Johnson

I never worry about looking cool in front of a guy. I have never been a self-conscious girl. Goofing around is part of being comfortable with yourself. I've always been good at meeting new people. I just say, 'Hi, how you doing?' and soon we'll end up laughing about something.

Ashlee Simpson

You should never be comfortable, man. Being comfortable fouled up a lot of musicians.

Miles Davis

I'm never comfortable being in front of the camera, but I've learned how to deal with it.

Alex Wolff

I feel that being comfortable - being yourself - when you walk into an audition room is a really important thing. I think being able to own every aspect of your life is only going to make you be more comfortable in front of a table of people you don't know.

Andrew Keenan-Bolger

Film has always been hard for me, I'm basically a stage actress. I never felt comfortable in front of the camera.

Blythe Danner

Being at the top means never being satisfied with what you're comfortable with - comfortable means you've stopped pushing, and you're either going to get passed, or you already have been. But if you're constantly pushing yourself, then you're exposing yourself to falls and injuries.

Gretchen Bleiler

I'm comfortable in front of a camera, and I'm used to being watched, although that kind of bugged me at first. On the stage, though, I'm scared. I really get frightened in front of people.

Andie MacDowell

I have been in public for a long time, so the camera was never an issue for me. I am very comfortable in front of a camera.

Anoushka Shankar

'Hollyoaks' is where I learnt a lot of the craft, being in front of a camera six days a week. That's certainly an experience you don't get in drama school. It invites you to be comfortable in front of the camera.

Nico Mirallegro

I've always been really comfortable around athletics, I've just never been comfortable playing anything.

Amy Adams

You can get good performances in quite sizable roles from people who have never been in front of a camera, people who maybe have never been in front of a movie theater.

Kevin Macdonald

I always said put me in front of 40 or 50,000 people and play hockey, I'm comfortable there. Put me in front of 50 people to talk or get in front of, and that's where I'm probably the least comfortable.

Ron Francis

I'm certainly not your typical front-man material. Some people love being on stage and really open up, and I'm sort of the opposite of that. I don't crave the spotlight. I'm still not comfortable even talking on stage.
