My greatest desire is that the hope that has overcome fear in my country will help vanquish it around the world.

I fear that the rising personal bankruptcies and repossessions are the first signs of bigger problems to come and personal debt - Gordon Brown's legacy to millions of Britain's families - will hang like a millstone around the neck of the British people for years to come.

Over the past few years the road to confrontation has shown its consequences: loss of innocent lives destruction and fear. Most costly however was the loss of hope. The most precious gift that you can present to your peoples over the coming weeks is renewed hope born out of tangible progress on the ground.

Fear is just not a part of my life - so much so that if it's involved in somebody else's life and they're close to me I won't be around them.

My fear now is of cliche of complacency of not being able to feel authenticity in myself and those around me.

When we drop fear we can draw nearer to people we can draw nearer to the earth we can draw nearer to all the heavenly creatures that surround us.

Almost all the ideas we have about being a man or being a woman are so burdened with pain anxiety fear and self-doubt. For many of us the confusion around this question is excruciating.

Worry is a cycle of inefficient thoughts whirling around a center of fear.

In a World where people are surrounded by darkness ignorance and fear it is a sign of hope to be celebrating Islam's message of peace and light and the last great Messenger born and chosen to deliver them to all mankind.

Fear has many eyes and can see things underground.

It was I who made Fellini famous not the other way around.

When I was in fourth grade... this wonderful teacher said you didn't have to write a book report you could just talk about the book you could do a drawing of the book you could write a play inspired by the book and that's what I did. I got to be so famous. I had to go around to every school and perform it. It was just so natural and fun.

I don't feel I was ever a 'famous' child actor. I was just a working actor who happened to be a kid. I was never really in a hit show until I was a teenager with West Wing playing First Daughter Zoey Bartlet. In a way that was my saving grace - not being a star on a hit show. It kept me working and kept me grounded.

I heard so many stories from Gaomi's peasants that I had an irrepressible urge to write them down. Today Gaomi's peasants know that they have become famous around the world through my writings but I think they are a little puzzled by this.

I did grow up next door to Steve McQueen who was a very famous movie star at the time but as a kid it didn't impress me. We always had great fun with him. He would take us out on Sundays on his motorcycles riding around in the desert he was like a second father.

I worked at a hot dog place a bagel place the Jersey Store and the hottest fashion joint around. I was getting too famous to work there anymore. I was almost showing up as a joke. I made $2 000 on my show the previous night and I'm going to go shopping during my five-hour shift.

I've been around some very famous people but no one has the effect Maradona has people tremble in his presence.
