Quote by Cody Horn

And I was very shy as a kid if you sang me 'Happy Birthday,' I would cry. Quite shy. So the idea of being an actor, much less a model, was just out of this world.

And I was very shy as a kid if you sang me 'Happy Birthday,'

Summary

The quote reflects the speaker's experience of extreme shyness during childhood, to the point where even a simple act like singing 'Happy Birthday' would bring them to tears. Given this disposition, the prospect of becoming an actor or a model, who are typically more exposed and in the public eye, seemed impossible and far-fetched to them. The quote conveys the speaker's disbelief and astonishment at the idea of engaging in professions that require a level of confidence and visibility that they lacked as a shy child.
