She said:
I think for so long, my perception of the Internet, which is where most people know me, is through a press day. I always felt that if I revealed too much about myself, people couldn’t believe me like other characters. That is something that I have always had very close to my chest.
So this is a way of trying to get out of that line of thinking and say that there are a lot of things that people don’t know about me. I guess deep down, I was too scared to be so vulnerable on the internet. So that’s part of it. Be more open about my flaws, about who I really am and not just through the lens of a director or the safety of a character.

It is different for me now. I discovered that every time I read an interview or a biography or watch a video with an artist that I love and they are very sincere and flawed and I can see their process, I feel like, ‘Oh my gosh, yeah. I’m not the only one who feels that way. I began to realize that I was being too self-conservative … more than I needed to.

“For me, my starting point has been, I am an introvert with asthma. That has been my story for me: I am an introvert, I am scared, I am socially anxious, ”said Larson. “And through, in particular, playing Captain Marvel, that guy erased those titles that he had for me. He made me say, ‘Whoa, I’m not really that anymore.'”
She concluded: “Then, from there, I discovered that talking, telling my story, talking about things that scare me, has helped me a lot.”
