Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world.

It's all too easy when talking about female gymnasts to fall into the trap of infantilizing them spending more time worrying more about female vulnerability than we do celebrating female strength.

They tell me that it will be hard to find a man strong enough to love my own strength and independence and not worry about being Mr. Diana Ross but I disagree. I know absolutely that that man is somewhere out there.

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength.

I'm not good at anything except writing jokes. I wasn't good at sports I wasn't good at anything artsy ever. I think there was a real worry for a while about what I would be good at. I was just this chubby little Indian kid who looked like a nerd.

Who ever hears of fat men heading a riot or herding together in turbulent mobs? No - no your lean hungry men who are continually worrying society and setting the whole community by the ears.

The person that's always talkin' you don't have to worry about that person. The person that while you're in his face he's just lookin' at you with a smile on his face that's the guy you worry about.

Except in very narrow cases where there's breakthrough science that needs patent production worrying about competitors is a waste of time. If you can't out iterate someone who is trying to copy you you're toast anyway.

When you are the lead in a romantic comedy you have to worry about people really liking you.

I said 'Brian no one is going to respect me as a mother after this.' He said 'oh no yes they will this is a movie don't worry about it.' But they're not.

We have to unclutter our brains from worries that maybe people don't like us. Women tend to worry about popularity it doesn't matter if they like you. They need to respect you. They need to show that respect for you in your pay check. And that needs to be okay.

There is no need to worry about mere size. We do not necessarily respect a fat man more than a thin man. Sir Isaac Newton was very much smaller than a hippopotamus but we do not on that account value him less.

If you're a Christian you don't sit there and worry about what somebody else is doing if they're happy and they're committed in a relationship.

While the wider global environment is worrying we are seeing some positive results in our economic affairs.

And I'm a pretty positive person - I don't put a lot of energy into worrying and I'm not a person who lives in a great deal of fear.

I just worry a lot. I'm a worrier. Michelle and Barack are really dear to me. I mean I love them. And I don't want to see them get hurt. Just the nature of politics is hurtful. So every time they are hurt I get hurt. It's a lot to ask of people and it's a lot to see your friends go through. It's hard not to get emotional.

The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from Science along with behaviour control genetic engineering transplanted heads computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers.

I'm at peace with my family my friends myself and God so there's really nothing else that I worry about.

There is something at work that's bigger than us. It's about having a trust in life and being at peace that things are happening the way they should. You do what you do as well as you can do it and then you don't worry or agonize about the outcome.

It's not so much about killing an animal it's being at peace and you don't have to worry about all the other things that go on. That's a couple of hours a week that you get to escape but it's nice to do that.

If you don't know how to die don't worry Nature will tell you what to do on the spot fully and adequately. She will do this job perfectly for you don't bother your head about it.

My recollection of a hundred lovely lakes has given me blessed release from care and worry and the troubled thinking of our modern day. It has been a return to the primitive and the peaceful.

By forgetting the past and by throwing myself into other interests I forget to worry.
