My greatest fear: repetition.

My greatest fear is disappointing the reader so each book has to be better than the one before.

If the markets had behaved badly that would obviously add to people's sense of alarm... but there has been a lot of reassurance coming particularly in the way the Brits handled all this. There seems to be no great fear that something like that is going to happen here.

For our part we shall continue to work for the new dawn when all the Children of Abraham and their descendants are living together in the birthplace of their three great monotheistic religions a life free from fear a life free from want - a life in peace.

Studios because they are investing a great deal of money in movies they want a guarantee that when they hire somebody that person can deliver for them. Everything is fear based so they pigeonhole people. But I've written everything from Westerns to sci-fi to dramedy I've done it all.

My greatest desire is that the hope that has overcome fear in my country will help vanquish it around the world.

I am grateful that I didn't let fear get the best of me. It only holds you back from possibilities and greatness.

I don't want to wake up and be bored. That's probably my greatest fear is to have nothing to do. What better job is there than to play quarterback for an NFL team and certainly one that I've been on for a long time and had success with? I don't plan on giving it up any time soon.

I find fear is a great motivator to work hard.

More than fantasy or even science fiction Ray Bradbury wrote horror and like so many great horror writers he was himself utterly without fear of anything. He wasn't afraid of looking uncool - he wasn't scared to openly love innocence or to be optimistic or to write sentimentally when he felt that way.
