Actress Jessica Chastain says she finds it funny that she decided to be an actress despite being a shy person.

The "Zero Dark Thirty" star says acting for her has never been about seeking attention.

"I'm so shy. It's a strange thing. Acting for me has never been about wanting attention or wanting to be seen.

"It's funny that I'm in a profession where that's where I am. There's so much I want to express, it's about connecting with another person and the intimacy of what that is, and so I have to overcome my shyness," she said while speaking to James Lipton for Inside the Actors Studio.
