I have been afraid all my life that I am going to die. All my life it has been stuffed in my imagination.

I tried to stir the imagination and enthusiasms of students to take risks to do what they were most afraid of doing to widen their horizons of action.

I was raised not to be afraid to show emotion or imagination.

I think my securities far outweigh my insecurities. I am not nearly as afraid of myself and my imagination as I used to be.

I always felt different as a kid and the Kinks were like 'Yeah we're the Kinks.' Celebrate your difference don't be afraid of your sense of humor or your personality or who you are. It emboldened me.

I am not afraid of dying. I have lived longer than most people in the world. What scares me is to have a body that works but a brain that is waving goodbye. If that happens I hope I die quickly.

I hope I'm wrong but I am afraid that Iraq is going to turn out to be the greatest disaster in American foreign policy - worse than Vietnam not in the number who died but in terms of its unintended consequences and its reverberation throughout the region.

I've tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I'm afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred.

Brazil is where I belong the place that feels like home. They love their family their country and God and are not afraid to let anybody know it.

I'm not afraid to call a wine that tastes like Skittles or green peppers mixed with orange marmalade. I'll say 'It tastes like chicken.' I mean that's not what people think of when they think of wine but that's what it tastes like to me and it hits home.
