My first fear was about the devil, when I was around fire, something I saw in a movie. I think it's about pain, in whichever form it comes. I had a lot of energy as a child - sometimes too much - and I didn't know how to channel it. It was making me suffer. It was bigger than myself, and I was very young.

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

Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.

If something scares me, then I have to do it. My biggest fear in life is fear.

What I am afraid of is the first thing I was ever aware of being afraid of and what I have told my daughter countless times she need not fear: being alone in the dark. It is a small prison of emotion from which there is no escape. It is also, in its own way, a shattering revelation.

What's my greatest fear? I don't know; I have lots of fears. Regret, I don't want to have any regrets; that makes me scared.

Everything I was afraid of when I was growing up, I've become. I've taken on my nightmares, like the devil and the end of the world, and I've become those things.

I'd say my greatest fear is fear itself.

My biggest fear in life is fear.

Fear is a question. What are you afraid of and why? Our fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if we explore them.
