MBTI Overheard

[mbti-overheard]

House is definitely not an ENTP. I would know because I'm an INFJ which means my ENTP radar is off the charts.

[mbti-overheard]

I believe that a creative career is only as good as the risks that you take with it.

Cate Blanchett

[mbti-overheard]

I'm drawn to the psychology of really interesting, flawed people.

Nicole Kidman

[mbti-overheard]

I would describe myself as emotional and highly strung. If something upsets me, it really upsets me. If something makes me angry, I get really angry. But it's all very upfront. I can't hide it. I'm also loyal and I hope I'm fun.

Nicole Kidman

[mbti-overheard]

It was very natural for me to want to disappear into dark theater, I am really very shy. That is something that people never seem to fully grasp because, when you are an actor, you are meant to be an exhibitionist.

Nicole Kidman

[mbti-overheard]

Part of the reason of being an actor is you like playing other people's lives and exploring all the psychologies in that and the emotions.

Nicole Kidman

[mbti-overheard]

I love acting but I don't like all of the other stuff associated with it. The interest in celebrities, the press, the Internet, when your identity becomes mixed up in the way people are perceiving you.

Nicole Kidman

[mbti-overheard]

You know, the more you can meet people from different walks of life, the better it is for you. I think the more you can create situations and experiences that give you new perspective, the better.

Michelle Pfeiffer

[mbti-overheard]

What we're supposed to do as actors is be able to portray real human beings and emotions. And if you grow up in this bubble of showbiz and you only know people who make movies, you don't really have an understanding of the world outside.

Emily Browning

[mbti-overheard]

For me, getting comfortable with being famous was hard - that whole side of it, the loss of anonymity, the loss of privacy. Giving up that part of your life and not having control of it.

Michelle Pfeiffer

[mbti-overheard]

I'm a very private person. I find it very daunting to have to give private parts of myself away to people, you know?

Emily Browning

[mbti-overheard]

I tend to over-analyse things. I'm not the type of person to flip a coin and let things happen.

Emily Browning

[mbti-overheard]

I'm a massive daydreamer. I'm constantly lost within my own fantasies and my own thoughts personally, and I think maybe that is sort of represented in what we do for a living, the fact that we make believe everything and we escape into these other characters for a living.

Emily Browning

[mbti-overheard]

In my everyday life I'm a little bit nervous and not particularly brave. I feel like if I can be completely brave in my work then I'm doing something right.

Emily Browning

[mbti-overheard]

I've actually got turned down for a lot of roles because I'm not bubbly enough. People have told me to be more 'up', but I can't, really. I find it hard to be smiley and giggly all the time.

Emily Browning

[mbti-overheard]

You look at the greatest villains in human history, the fascists, the autocrats, they all wanted people to kneel before them because they don't love themselves enough.

Tom Hiddleston

[mbti-overheard]

Artists instinctively want to reflect humanity, their own and each other's, in all its intermittent virtue and vitality, frailty and fallibility.
