I'm not a good flyer. Because I do it so much, I think the odds of something going wrong are not in my favour.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not a great flyer. It's ironic, since I'm in showbiz and have to fly at least twice a week. I try to sleep and blot it out.
When someone hands you a flyer, it's like they're saying here you throw this away.
Don't hold back in your writing. Take risks. Go ahead and tackle that crazy idea that you think will never fly, because that may be the one that makes you stand out from the crowd. Keep pushing the envelope.
If the prospect of a bad result gets the heart racing - a plane crash, a terrible disease, a loss of 30 percent of your portfolio - most people will take strong steps to avoid it. They will pay too little attention to a comforting thought, which is that worst-case scenarios usually don't come to fruition.
I'm very phobic about flying, but I'm also drawn to it.
You can't rely on luck. I've had some stages in my career where I've said we're going to wing it, and we've always ended up in trouble.
I used to fly around quite a bit, you know? I took a lot of unnecessary chances on the highways. And I started racing, and now I drive on the highways, I'm extra cautious because no one knows what they're doing half the time. You don't know what this guy is going to do or that one.
If at first you don't succeed... so much for skydiving.
When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.
I am an obsessive flyer, myself.
