I took a Fear of Flying class and I always missed the class because I was always flying.

I try to get in quiet time and book time but really the only time I ever get that is when I'm on an airplane - I have a fear of flying but I actually love flying because it's the only time I can sleep and it's the only time I get to read.

Willpower is the key to success. Successful people strive no matter what they feel by applying their will to overcome apathy doubt or fear.

It is better for you to be free of fear lying upon a pallet than to have a golden couch and a rich table and be full of trouble.

The weeds keep multiplying in our garden which is our mind ruled by fear. Rip them out and call them by name.

I don't know if this is the kind of retrospective analysis that people are fond of applying to their work or actions but it feels like I knew I was going to be famous and I knew that an element of that would be traumatic so that if I could make myself something big and otherworldly it would be a kind of defence.

I'm not one of those famous people flying round the world emoting over every catastrophe. I'm too feeble.

Women are in my view natural peacemakers. As givers and nurturers of life through their focus on human relationships and their engagement with the demanding work of raising children and protecting family life they develop a deep sense of empathy that cuts through to underlying human realities.

I'd be lying if I said I had confidence in every choice I've made that I have faith in every film I do on every shot.

I had the closest thing I have ever had to an out-of-body experience lying in bed one morning. I turned on the 'Today' programme and item four on the news was: 'The shadow chancellor has ruled himself out of the leadership.' I lay there thinking that's interesting then I realised it was me.

The underlying message of the Lancet article is that if you want to understand aggressive behaviour in children look to the social and emotional environment in which they are growing up and the values they bring to the viewing experience.

I decided blacks should not have to experience the difficulties I had faced so I decided to open a flying school and teach other black women to fly.

Yes I've been trepanned. That's quite an interesting experience especially for my brain surgeon who saw my thoughts flying around in my brain.

Is it not rather what we expect in men that they should have numerous strands of experience lying side by side and never compare them with each other?

Political Freedom without economic equality is a pretense a fraud a lie and the workers want no lying.

The dilemma of modern medicine and the underlying central flaw in medical education and most of all in the training of interns is the irresistible drive to do something anything. It is expected by patients and too often agreed to by their doctors in the face of ignorance.

Cutting the deficit by gutting our investments in innovation and education is like lightening an overloaded airplane by removing its engine. It may make you feel like you're flying high at first but it won't take long before you feel the impact.

I think I usually have quite ordinary dreams. Sometimes my dreams take me to other dimensions. I can travel in my mind especially when I'm dreaming I focus my mind on what I want to dream. If I want to fly I focus on flying.

I was not born in a home where there were stereotypes. So that was very useful because it gave me the sense of possibilities of flying if I may say of making my hopes and dreams a reality.

When I'm lying in my bed I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me.
