Why do people do things that they fear? It may be that the fear contains information. Something can be interesting if you get to the other side of that fear.

For me it's important to be in balance. To not let fear get in the way of things to not worry so much about protecting yourself all the time.

I always say three things make a writer: inspiration obviously perspiration doing the work. But the third is desperation. I'm not really fit for anything else or to have a real job. That fear drives me. The pressure has always been self inflicted.

Television knows no night. It is perpetual day. TV embodies our fear of the dark of night of the other side of things.

But I love being scared. I think you're brave only when you do things that scare you. I've always used fear as a motivator. I'm not sure why.

Fear of things invisible in the natural seed of that which everyone in himself calleth religion.

You cannot avoid war in life you cannot avoid the fear of terrorism you cannot avoid those things now they are a part of everyday demeanor.

You can ask me pretty much anything. There'll be things I'll go 'That feels a little too personal.' But most things I don't have a fear of being asked about.

I think one of the terrible things today is that people have this deathly fear of food: fear of eggs say or fear of butter. Most doctors feel that you can have a little bit of everything.

I've noticed a lot of younger artists have less fear of doing different sorts of things whether it's various types of music or gallery artists moving between video and sculpture and drawing.

You have to be careful not to let your fear stop you doing things. It's very exciting to test yourself.

There are few things more liberating in this life than having your worst fear realized.

Under the influence of fear which always leads men to take a pessimistic view of things they magnified their enemies' resources and minimized their own.

God will never direct us to be prideful arrogant and unforgiving immoral or slothful or full of fear. We step into these things because we are insensitive to the leadership of the Holy Spirit within us.

The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear.

Things done well and with a care exempt themselves from fear.

And the things that we fear are a weapon to be held against us.

Fear has many eyes and can see things underground.

We fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them.

I'm just not a private person. It's not like I do things because I want things to be public it's just that's my way of expressing myself and I happen to be very famous.

One of the hardest things for me now that I'm famous is finding people who can read my stuff and give me an honest critique.

There's so many things I want to do. I want to work with great filmmakers great actors great scripts. And there's no reason for me to do anything short of that because I'm 24 I don't have a family I don't need to make tons of money and I'm not dying to get famous.

I love singing - singing is what I'm famous for doing. Now it's turned into things I am famous for doing - like having rows with my mum or about my boyfriend so it does get irritating.

You don't have to be rich and famous. You just have to be an ordinary person doing extraordinary things. I'd like more people to know that it's there. Women's achievements still aren't recognised enough in many areas.
