Three years ago, I was against all social media but I actually really enjoy Instagram now. Who knows? I never say never! — Jeremy Irvine
I'm a shy, nervous person, and I don't like teaching with "terms."

But I feel like teaching in that way reduces the concept to a term. — Tao Lin
Each time I take a role, I'm always nervous about it at the beginning and I'm always afraid what if that, what if this. Every time I take a role and I'm somewhat terrified at the beginning and I get into it and I start working, that's a big win for me. So, really it is stepping forward in the face of whatever fears that I've created for myself and going forward anyway and those are always big moments for me. — Ryan Reynolds

But I don't think that I've been deft at hiding parts of my personality. — Emma Stone
