Kate Kavanagh: What was he like?
Anastasia Steele: He was polite. Intense. Smart. Really intimidating.
Christian Grey: I don't make love. I fuck... Hard.
Christian Grey: It's just behind this door.
Anastasia Steele: What is?
Christian Grey: My playroom.
Anastasia Steele: Like your Xbox and stuff?
Christian Grey: It's important that you know you can leave at anytime.
Anastasia Steele: Why? What's in there?
Christian Grey: I meant what I said. The helicopter is on standby to take you whenever you want to go.
Anastasia Steele: Could you just open the door? [Walks into the room.] Oh my God.
Anastasia Steele: Why are you trying to change me?
Christian Grey: I'm not. It's you that's changing me.
Christian Grey: What about you? I'd like to know more about you.
Anastasia Steele: There's really not much to know about me. Look at me.
Christian Grey: I am.
Answer: At that point, he's simply unable to express to anyone anything about his feelings or his past. He's taking "baby steps" to change into a different person by telling Ana about his mother while in her presence but when she is asleep. Eventually he is able to tell her when she can hear him. This is also a plot device known as "exposition", used to provide the audience with story information that other characters do not know.
