Quote

I'm afraid of only two things: being lazy and being cowardly.

I have mentally overcome situations most of you would be terrified to ever attempt: heights, fire, needles, spiders, snakes, angry monkeys, being shot, being hit by a car, going blind - you name it, I have been in a situation where I have had to mentally overcome my inherent fears to do my job.

I would be a fool to deny my own abilities.

I, for one, find writing excruciating. Some mornings, as I'm on my way to my desk, my hands actually tremble with fear. The fear, of course, is that I'll sit down at the desk and discover that what I've written is claptrap. Fear inevitably leads to procrastination.

When I dare to be powerful - to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.

When you're fearless, you take more risks because you're less conscious of failure or what can go wrong.

But you have to do what you dream of doing even while you're afraid.

I tend to do things that I'm very frightened of. That's what I do.

The less effort, the faster and more powerful you will be.

If I ever completely lost my nervousness I would be frightened half to death.
