If I was sad or afraid I would sit in a corner and sing. If I was happy I would jump into the middle of the room and sing. It was how I expressed my emotions.

When I was younger many of my romantic escapades were just a means of simply avoiding being by myself. I was afraid of feeling lonely afraid I wouldn't know what to say to myself.

Too many women throw themselves into romance because they're afraid of being single then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won't do that.

I don't wilt easily and a director can't either. He's the captain of the ship and he's got to be in total control. He also has to have respect for the people he's working for. From being an actor and being on a set my whole life I'm very comfortable there. And I'm not afraid.

My father used to tell me about how musicians don't have respect from people and he was afraid about my future.

If the world were a bar America would currently be the angry drunk waving around a loaded gun. Yeah the other people in the bar may be afraid of him but they sure as hell don't respect him.

You can't respect yourself if you're afraid to be who you are.

I was not afraid of the press or the militants. It was uncomfortable but I was not afraid. With respect to the press I knew I knew more than they knew about city matters. With respect to the militants I understood it. I mean everybody believed in those days that they were being screwed you know that somebody was getting ahead of them.

The fundamentalists are increasing. People afraid to oppose those fundamentalists shut their mouths. It is really very difficult to make people move against a sensitive issue like religion which is the source of fundamentalism.

I have never made fun of religion. Religion is something I don't even want to mess with because I am really afraid of the clouds opening up and my being struck by lightning.

I am not afraid to say my relationship with my man is important even vital to who I am as a person.

I have my ethics and morals. I have my anchor point of what is right and wrong in real life but I'm not afraid to entertain any and every aspect of personality in relationship to creating a character.

I'm afraid the SS's relationship with the Catholic Church is something the Church still has to deal with and does not deny.

I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose. There are no accidents we're all teachers - if we're willing to pay attention to the lessons we learn trust our positive instincts and not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door.

The biggest problem is people are afraid of poetry think they can't understand it or that it will be boring.

But take comfort in that I die at peace with the world and myself - not afraid.

When I was in the first grade I was afraid of the teacher and had a miserable time in the reading circle a difficulty that was overcome by the loving patience of my second grade teacher. Even though I could read I refused to do so.
