I took a Fear of Flying class and I always missed the class because I was always flying.

I try to get in quiet time and book time but really the only time I ever get that is when I'm on an airplane - I have a fear of flying but I actually love flying because it's the only time I can sleep and it's the only time I get to read.

Willpower is the key to success. Successful people strive no matter what they feel by applying their will to overcome apathy doubt or fear.

It is better for you to be free of fear lying upon a pallet than to have a golden couch and a rich table and be full of trouble.

The weeds keep multiplying in our garden which is our mind ruled by fear. Rip them out and call them by name.

I don't know if this is the kind of retrospective analysis that people are fond of applying to their work or actions but it feels like I knew I was going to be famous and I knew that an element of that would be traumatic so that if I could make myself something big and otherworldly it would be a kind of defence.

I'm not one of those famous people flying round the world emoting over every catastrophe. I'm too feeble.

Women are in my view natural peacemakers. As givers and nurturers of life through their focus on human relationships and their engagement with the demanding work of raising children and protecting family life they develop a deep sense of empathy that cuts through to underlying human realities.

I'd be lying if I said I had confidence in every choice I've made that I have faith in every film I do on every shot.

Sigmund Freud was the apostle of disbelief. He was the one who made psychoanalysis a part of our culture and in so doing he kicked out a flying buttress that had been essential for holding up our cathedral of faith.
