Americans have an abiding belief in their ability to control reality by purely material means... airline insurance replaces the fear of death with the comforting prospect of cash.

I live in constant fear of being fired or dropped for that dark part of my work I can't control.

I live in a kind of controlled awareness. I wouldn't call it fear but it's an awareness. I know I have a responsibility to behave in a certain way. I'm able to do that.

Fear controls you.

Mine are the deep-seated fears established when we are children and they never quite go away: the fear of being helpless the fear of being trapped the fear of being out of control.

I do support artists standing by their beliefs and walking with integrity. We have to find a better way to commercially exploit music while giving artists their proper respect. This cannot be done while taking their contributions for granted or trying to control the scope of their growth and power through threats and fear tactics.

The more you can increase fear of drugs and crime welfare mothers immigrants and aliens the more you control all the people.

There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart's controls.

What is needed rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance is understanding fear that means watch it learn about it come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear not how to escape from it.

For me getting comfortable with being famous was hard - that whole side of it the loss of anonymity the loss of privacy. Giving up that part of your life and not having control of it.
