There's not too many things I'm afraid of, but I'm not too brave when it comes to sitting in a chair getting my teeth drilled.

The stroke has given me another way to serve people. It lets me feel more deeply the pain of others; to help them know by example that ultimately, whatever happens, no harm can come. 'Death is perfectly safe,' I like to say.

I'm scared of a lot of things.

The only thing I am afraid of is fear.

I feel vulnerable because my mind - because of the stroke, my mind doesn't focus. And then I feel vulnerable because I don't understand the world around me.

I won't allow myself to have tremendous fear.

Fear is a driving force for most of the things that I do. I don't know if that's healthy.

I am not afraid of the pen, or the scaffold, or the sword.

I'm afraid of flying.
