As a child, I was very shy. Painfully, excruciatingly shy. I hid a lot in my room. I was so terrified to read out loud in school that I had to have my mother ask my reading teacher not to call on me in class.

I grew up on soul music. I was a dancing little creep.

I'm my own worst enemy sometimes when I pick projects.

My dad had even hired an accompanist to play for me on a piano. But he had never pushed me to music because I don't think he wanted me to be hurt as much as he was if it didn't work.
Kim Basinger
I'm a very determined person.
