Hope Sandoval

From HopeSandoval.com :: The Official Website of Hope Sandoval
Hope writes almost all the lyrics for Mazzy Star. Hope is a very shy and private person, and doesn't seem to enjoy the popularity very much. "For me recording is better," says Sandoval. "Live, I just get really nervous. Once you're onstage, you're expected to perform. I don't do that. I always feel awkward about just standing there and not speaking to the audience. It's difficult for me."

eminem is introverted in a way he never did interviews up until now hes hidden his personal life alot and when hes on stage hes on heaps of drugs lol so hes done a great job..
 
@dottie: is that amelie? :) I've heard it's a good movie (related to SA, still want to see it:))

I think Jewel is a great introvert person, she isn't afraid of singing about emotional stuff, I just get touched by ''Foolish Games'' sometimes I cry when I hear this song ::eek:: or Sensetive, and Hands, Great songs, and I bet she is a great person in real life, as well, respect for this singer ^^

Top choice, dottie.

This film is the best film to watch, alone. And one of the most heart-warming.
In fact the DVD has managed to land right next to my t.v, right now... I may have to watch this in bed::p:

I love introvert heroes. The quietly contented.

Obvious choice, probably, but Morrissey (and his band The Smiths) probably did more for me during my adolescence than anyone else.

His wonderful lyrics - turning tales about lost and unrequited love ('I Know It's Over', 'Never Had No One Ever' etc) - into an endlessly quotable art form gets my vote.

Made some good friends back then through him. I figured, "If this person likes Morrissey, then we'll get along fine!"

Good to see Amelie featured here, by the way. Great movie!
