You can also tell her from me that is ridiculous.  As an actor, I can tell you that a majority of performers are painfully shy.  That is one of the reasons *why* they perform.  It's a way to a) overcome that shyness and/or b) hide behind a roll, because sometimes it's easier to pretend being someone else than exposing yourself.

To get back on topic, I happened to catch the Rosie the second time it aired, and yes, she was positively manic.  But I think that stemmed from her complete delight with both the books and film.  She can certainly be overwhelming when she warms to her topic.
