When you're scared, you're still hanging on to life. When you're ready to die, you let it go. A sort of emptying out occurs, a giving up on the world that seems oddly familiar even if you've never done it before.

Whenever you're scared of something, don't let that define you. We all feel it, but step up.

I know what it is like to feel vulnerable and fearful during a difficult time.

No matter what you do, if there's something you're afraid of, you need to break through it.

Most of the time, I'm not scared. I get on with life, not because I'm a fatalist, but because that's the most congenial way of dealing with things. Indeed, most of the time, I'm not conscious of dealing with anything.

I think when I feel fear, that's often a cue that I should do something. If I begin to feel fear, that's a strong sign, psychologically, that something has its hooks in me somewhere deep.

I've been scared and I've liked not hanging on to stuff where I know that I'm in my comfort zone.

I tend to think you're fearless when you recognize why you should be scared of things, but do them anyway.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'
