You know that day after day of Oh God what am I going to do with myself feeling? The fear of the emptiness that it implies keeps me going.

I have a pathological fear of being on my own. When I'm with my own thoughts I start to unravel myself and I start to think really dark thoughts self-destructive thoughts.

It is because I believe that it is in the power of such nations to lead the world back into the paths of peace that I propose to devote myself to explaining what in my opinion can and should be done to banish the fear of war that hangs so heavily over the world.

I have now taken a serious task upon myself and I fear a greater one that is in the power of any man to perform in the given time-but it is too late to go back.

My fear now is of cliche of complacency of not being able to feel authenticity in myself and those around me.

When I'm acting I'm two beings. There's the one monitoring the distance between myself and the camera making sure I hit my marks and there is the one driven by this inner fire this delicious fear.

My main concern with the condition of mathematics in high school is that there's a lot of fear involved! Math is not generally speaking presented in a fun way. The concepts as I see them are fun and that's the way I'd like to convey them myself.

Whenever somebody says they need an angle for their story I always fear that they've got an idea and they want me to fit into it or they want me to come up with an idea myself or I'm supposed to be more revealing than I've been and to me it just sounds like something I don't want to do.

I won't allow myself to have tremendous fear.

Fear? If I have gained anything by damning myself it is that I no longer have anything to fear.

Fear is static that prevents me from hearing myself.

I don't see myself as famous at all so I'm continuing my life as normal.

I don't really see myself as famous.

If somebody tells me I'm famous I say 'I'm not.' I can't see myself as famous and I don't think I'll ever call myself famous. I definitely don't feel famous.

It's not that I don't want to become famous or that I'm obsessed by my work as an actress but it's all about not limiting myself such as putting myself in a little jail that I can escape from.

I'm just not a private person. It's not like I do things because I want things to be public it's just that's my way of expressing myself and I happen to be very famous.

I don't like being recognised I have no interest in being famous at all I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down I would!

I don't put weight on fame and having people around me just because I am famous makes me feel really bad about myself.

I try to become more humble and more myself with every year. There was a while when I got famous where I was so confused and my head was spinning.

In Los Angeles as I gained and lost celebrity then gained it again I often found myself wondering why I out of thousands like me had become famous.

Quite often I can be in a bookshop standing beneath a great big picture of myself and paying for a book with a credit card clearly marked John Grisham yet no one recognises me. I often say I'm a famous author in a country where no one reads.

I don't really consider myself to be famous.

Being famous hasn't changed my perception of myself - I've just grown up.

People don't get through to the essence of you right away - it's always the famous 'girl' or the famous 'girlfriend'. I'd rather be known for myself.
