Quote

I think my whole life, because of where I came from, I had a fear of failure.

To overcome any sort of fear is satisfying, and to overcome it well is even better.

All my life I had feared to-morrow, until I decided to have faith and to live to-day in courage.

It took me way beyond what I knew, into places of which I was totally scared, but as I became less frightened, I welcomed new ways of thinking and approaching something. It made me an infinitely richer person, and I think a better musician.

In this journey, the fear creeps in from time to time. The hint of that is there because there's an unknown factor to everything. That's true in everyone's life. I don't choose to live there; I let it spark me.

The terrorists thought they would change my aims and stop my ambitions, but nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage were born.

This fear of death infused me with the desire to live, and to live harder.

Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.

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.
