Americans calling someone like her shy. Meanwhile in Finland: wow, she is really outspoken and social.

[AndorranStairway]

Conan’s doing a great job making her feel comfortable in this interview. She lightened up quite a fair bit over the course of the interview

"They should sing happy birthday to my parents."
...It actually makes sense.

[meljoy]

in hollywood everyone always seems so outspoken and extroverted. it‘s so good to listen to someone like her who actually admits being extremely shy and sometimes socially awkward. i think a lot of people can relate to her :) she‘s great!

[Kevincooper]

Being shy is not a bad thing...glad she found Joaquin

[kingofrivia]

See conan is such a god - he perfectly matches his guests personality and still be himself and get them out of their shell

[DrAbhishekSomkuwar]

She's shy, she's adorable and those dimples are the cutest thing I've seen today.

[Darkknight]

Makes sense. Joaquin Phoenix is pretty reserved, and has said; that he sweats to the point of needing pads under his arms when he’s filming.

[ArthurRChan]

For someone that is so shy and sweet, she was awfully convincing in "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." Excellent actress.

[sherlockholmes]

She's honestly looking like a very shy person. Look at her eyes when she's talking. Idk how to describe it but I can relate to the movements and gestures so much.

[kansasgoldilocks]

I'm glad that a successful public figure is talking about being shy because I'm shy and people always either try to say I'm lying about it or are just shocked because I can hold conversations and I'm not completely helpless. A lot of people think anyone who is shy can't integrate into society, make friends, or talk. LOL

[QuadeQuick]

This is just another example of Conan's genius in interviewing guests. He made all the mainstream hosts look ridiculous by comparison.

She reminds me of this girl that I currently work with - soft spoken and funny, and she's since become a good friend of mine. These types of people are so nice to be around because they make you feel so comfortable around them and you can talk to them for hours about anything.

[annisamunawaroh]

Rooney is adorable. And the interview could gone awkward but conan and andy did such a great job it turns to be really funny.

[isdere]

conan is so good at holding conversations naturally

[sapphosinclair]

I can imagine her household is very peaceful, especially with Joaquin. Both seem reserved, matching energies. I love it.

[bblillian]

How has she not played Audrey Hepburn!?!?!!!

[millsykooksy]

She’s so cute, she and Joaquin are perfect together

[luisalcalabeltran]

Saying "They should sing happy birthday to my parents." a while after it was brought into the conversation is such an introvert thing to do. It's like, if she just thought about that until then, and she didn't want to lose the chance to say it.

[AA-qbni]

She's so sweet. She really needs an Oscar, she's one of the best actresses around.
