I think today women are very scared to celebrate themselves because then they just get labeled.

During the Cold War we were interested because we were scared that Russia and the United States were going to go to war. We were scared that Russia was going to take over the world. Every country became a battleground.

The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art. If you try to run away from it if you are scared to go to the brink you are lost.

In most communities it is illegal to cry 'fire' in a crowded assembly. Should it not be considered serious international misconduct to manufacture a general war scare in an effort to achieve local political aims?

Writing doesn't come real easy to me. I couldn't write a novel in a year. It wouldn't be readable. I don't let an editor even look at it until the second year because it would just scare them. I just have to trust that all these scraps and dead-ends will find a way.

A lot of film directors are quite scared of actors. They are a bit of a nightmare sometimes but I like them. It looks like cunning but you try to get extra things from them all the time by stealth by making them feel confident so they trust you and you can push a bit.

Every single Pixar film at one time or another has been the worst movie ever put on film. But we know. We trust our process. We don't get scared and say 'Oh no this film isn't working.'

The 'public' scares me but people I trust.

Air travel survived decades of terrorism including attacks which resulted in the deaths of everyone on the plane. It survived 9/11. It'll survive the next successful attack. The only real worry is that we'll scare ourselves into making air travel so onerous that we won't fly anymore.

For a long time I was scared I'd find out I was like my mother.
