Understanding this quote
The quote describes someone who was naturally more inward or private than publicly expressive. Becoming a public person did not seem effortless for him; he had to deliberately push himself into that role. “Interior person” contrasts with public visibility, while “will himself” suggests conscious determination rather than a simple preference for staying out of sight.
