I was walking along and this chair came flying past me and another and another and I thought man is this gonna be a good night.

When you have shot one bird flying you have shot all birds flying. They are all different and they fly in different ways but the sensation is the same and the last one is as good as the first.

But it wasn't until I graduated from Texas A & M University and joined the United States Air Force flying C-130's all around the globe that I truly appreciated the blessings of freedom.

I thought Erica Jong's Fear of Flying was one of the biggest pieces of crap that I've ever read in my life.

As with most phobias the fear of flying does make some sense but if ever there was a fear worth quashing then this is it. After all life is short and there's a great big world to explore out there.

I don't have a fear of flying I have a fear of crashing.

You know I never used to be a bad flyer but I did start to have a fear of flying after I shot a movie where I was terrorized on a plane. I made Wes Craven's 'Red Eye'. I don't think they're linked but it does make me pause and wonder if they are so perhaps I will explore that in therapy some day.

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.

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