I have gained this from philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law.

Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.

Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment.

We are afraid to care too much for fear that the other person does not care at all.

Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is freedom.

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.

More than anything else my mother wanted to be an actress - a famous actress - which in the 1950s was all about being young sexy and available. She was all that and more. She had big blue eyes alabaster skin a heart-shaped face a beautiful figure. She was just a knockout.

It was I who made Fellini famous not the other way around.

If it's not some daring dangerous affair it's just not interesting or so it seems. So here you have two people - a famous American iconic couple - who actually like each other sexually in marriage. Imagine.

I didn't set out to be famous if I'd wanted that I would have gone on 'Big Brother.'

Right now I'm the most famous silent movie actress in the world and I want to keep that for me. So I hope there's not going to be any other silent movies.

I think actors are divided into two groups: one that wants to be an actor to become famous and rich and the other that wants to be an actor because they have to be. I'm more in the second group.

Celebrity culture it's everywhere isn't it? It's reality TV Big Brother. I didn't become a footballer to be famous I became a footballer to be successful. I didn't want to be famous. Now people want to be famous. Why? Why would you want people following you about all day?

Sonny and another Hells Angel who was at the meeting thought they were beyond a little patch so they headed down to a local tattoo shop in Oakland and were the first to get the famous One Percent tattoos.

On the other hand when I give it closer thought I realize I'm not enough of a dictator to conduct an orchestra because it requires a pretty awful person. When you read these biographies of famous conductors they are all awful people who fail in their private relationships.

Many medal winners dream of competing in a sport other than the one they're famous for.

I was never famous as a kid. That's the biggest difference between me and any other kid actor is that I wasn't famous as a kid.

Similarly another famous little quantum fluctuation that programs you is the exact configuration of your DNA.

The famous saying 'God is love' it is generally assumed means that God is like our immediate emotional indulgence not that the meaning of love ought to have something of the 'otherness' and terror of God.

These days with 'American Idol' and all the other reality shows young people become famous overnight and that can be very difficult to handle the way photographers follow you around and study your every move.

The same people who can deny others everything are famous for refusing themselves nothing.

The Band was always famous for its retirements we'd go and play and get a little petty cash together and then not see each other till it was time to fill our pockets up again.

I never feel so utterly fraudulent as when I review a movie whose charms impress all in the world and I simply do not get it. The other variant is that I love something the world disdains. This has had severe career consequences: I am still famous - or notorious - in certain quarters where I am recalled as the man who liked 'Hudson Hawk.'

I studied Hitchcock a little bit at University and knew the famous story about the Birds - that he'd tortured Tippi for a day using real birds. I had no idea that it was a five-day onslaught and that it was the tip of an iceberg that carried on through to another film.
