I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship.

You can't allow the forces of political correction to shut you up. I mean why are people afraid to say 'Merry Christmas?' Give me a break. If people don't like it yeah they can go do something else.

Letting go of things and not being afraid of being ridiculous or over the top - I think that's the main thing for me to work on.

Luck? I don't know anything about luck. I've never banked on it and I'm afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work - and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't.

In my work and in myself I reflect black people women and men as I reflect others. One day even the most self-protective ones will look into the mirror I provide and not be afraid.

Women's Lib? Oh I'm afraid it doesn't interest me one bit. I've been so liberated it hurts.

When I was growing up it was 'Communists'. Now it's 'Terrorists'. So you always have to have somebody to fight and be afraid of so the war machine can build more bombs guns and bullets and everything.

If Scotland and America go to war I'm afraid I've already sworn in.

To be afraid is to behave as if the truth were not true.

We must never be afraid to go too far for truth lies beyond.

A lot of people are afraid to tell the truth to say no. That's where toughness comes into play. Toughness is not being a bully. It's having backbone.

We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts foreign ideas alien philosophies and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.

Work hard use your common sense and don't be afraid to trust your instincts.

I got this idea about being afraid to let go of something and being afraid of sinking into a state of almost anesthesia where you have to trust other people. Just the paranoia of it all. And it seemed to suit the frenetic track. So I just wrote it out and you know said it.

I don't trust Santa Barbara as far as I can spit. I am afraid that if I went back there it's possible that I could be run through their system their judicial system and wind up in some county jail where I could be killed and I'm not gonna take that chance.

I learned something from that. If someone asks me something that I really don't want to do I say no. I have to trust that. And I'm not afraid to talk money.

I've learned to trust myself to listen to truth to not be afraid of it and to not try and hide it.
