I get scared to death when I see people who say they've found Jesus Christ and they're out there and I wonder who's teaching them? Who's mentoring them?

I've always been scared to death of pain - afraid even to think of it.

I'm scared to death of being poor. It's like a fat girl who loses 500 pounds but is always fat inside. I grew up poor and will always feel poor inside. It's my pet paranoia.

To be honest I'm scared to death of rollercoaster rides.

Days will prove that the assassination policy will not finish the Hamas. Hamas leaders wish to be martyrs and are not scared of death. Jihad will continue and the resistance will continue until we have victory or we will be martyrs.

Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death.

I ain't scared to do another dating show but I ain't really trying to. I want to do a talk show or something. I've done enough dating on television. I'm ready to spread my wings and go down other avenues.

I wouldn't tell you anything about anybody I cared about because it becomes entertainment for other people and it sort of just cheapens everything in your life. I would never tell you if I was dating anybody.

We would make songs and the producers said we should play it for my dad. I was kind of scared I didn't know what to think cuz we were just joking around.

There's been times when I've had heartbreaking moments and I'm like 'I can't believe you said that ' or 'I can't believe you did that'.

During the Depression my dad made radios to sell to make extra money. Nobody had any money to buy the radios so he would trade them for dogs. He built kennels in the backyard and he cared for the dogs.

My mom and dad gave their kids the greatest gift of all - the gift of unconditional love. They cared deeply about who we would be and much less about what we would do.

I'm still shy - I'm no good at my children's parent-teacher conferences and I'm slowly learning how to ask for what I want. But I now know that I have a reserve of courage to draw upon when I really need it. There's nothing that I'm too scared to have a go at.

Courage is being scared to death... and saddling up anyway.

I've always been scared of advertising folk. I've met them at parties and I've been to their offices and I've always found them intimidatingly cool. At one company I visited they held their meetings in a caravan that had somehow been installed in the place a rather more exotic place to gather than the typical BBC glass box.

I had never been able to get a car that said how much I cared about the environment until I drove electric.

Female rappers get it the hardest. You have to be a girl yet you have to be just as hard as the guys. I think some female rappers get scared out of the business before they can make it.

I've found the best way is to not be scared of the attention but to be grateful for it and open to it. It makes my days better rather than being annoyed that people want my attention.

We have magnificent brains but we use a great deal of our brilliance to keep ourselves stuck and ignorant to keep ourselves from not shining. We are so afraid of our beauty and radiance and brilliance because it scared the adults around us when we were children.

Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death.
