You know that day after day of Oh God what am I going to do with myself feeling? The fear of the emptiness that it implies keeps me going.

A fear of the unknown keeps a lot of people from leaving bad situations.

The fear of becoming a 'has-been' keeps some people from becoming anything.

I'm not in the business of becoming famous. And that's the advice I give to younger aspiring actors. Work onstage and do the little roles. In the end it's not important to be seen. It's important to do. There's a lot of disappointment in this business but my family keeps me grounded.

My family truly believes they are better cooks than I am. They see me as Giada not as a celebrity chef. To them I'm just me - their granddaughter niece etc. and they're older and wiser. I like that because it keeps you grounded.

When I do get free time I spend a lot of it at home with my family and my close friends and I think that's what keeps me happy healthy grounded and totally in check.

You know sit with your arm around a little kid and read. It not only teaches them to read but it keeps the family strong.

Going home and spending time with your family and your real friends keeps you grounded.

For my future I have no concern and as a true philosopher I never would have any for I know not what it may be: as a Christian on the other hand faith must believe without discussion and the stronger it is the more it keeps silent.

Not truth but faith it is that keeps the world alive.

Faith keeps many doubts in her pay. If I could not doubt I should not believe.

Even in a gleefully negative comic there is optimism although it's slightly hidden: It comes out through a comic character's sheer tenacity. He keeps going and trying to find some sort of fulfillment regardless of his perpetual failure record. That's a form of hope a form of optimism. Really hokey I know but it's true.

Everybody keeps saying that India's a poor country. Yes we have poverty. But I blame the government of India the political establishment for their failure to educate and therefore their failure to control the poverty.

Your own experience keeps taking you towards something. My book adds the hope that it's a better something.

And it was a great experience you know to travel the world and compete at a certain level. It teaches you discipline focus and certainly keeps you out of trouble.

Experience keeps a dear school but fools will learn in no other.

I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experience behind him.
