In the '80s I was putting out an album virtually every year I think mostly based on fear - that if I didn't people would soon forget about me.

Honest to God all my life I have had such a fear of spiders. In fact I use to have a reoccurring dream about one. Very clearly it was black with a red head. It would sit up in the corner of the bedroom and when it started getting closer I would wake up in a panic.

I wish there were more true conversion and then there would not be so much backsliding and for fear of suffering living at ease when there are so few to contend for Christ and His cause.

If people would know how little brain is ruling the world they would die of fear.

I would sum up my fear about the future in one word: boring. And that's my one fear: that everything has happened nothing exciting or new or interesting is ever going to happen again... the future is just going to be a vast conforming suburb of the soul.

Between the fear that something would happen and the hope that still it wouldn't there is much more space than one thinks. On that narrow hard bare and dark space a lot of us spend their lives.

Monopolists who fear competition and who distrust democracy because it stands for equal opportunity would like to secure their position against small and energetic enterprise.

It is wisdom in prosperity when all is as thou wouldn't have it to fear and suspect the worst.

I write for those women who do not speak for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We've been taught that silence would save us but it won't.

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

I never dared to be radical when young for fear it would make me conservative when old.

My only fear is that I may live too long. This would be a subject of dread to me.

There is not a truth existing which I fear... or would wish unknown to the whole world.

Everyone wishes that the man whom he fears would perish.

We have perhaps a natural fear of ends. We would rather be always on the way than arrive. Given the means we hang on to them and often forget the ends.

That save from Pele's header was the best I ever made. I didn't have any idea how famous it would become - to start with I didn't even realise I'd made it at all.

I wasn't a kid who moved out from Iowa with aspirations of becoming a famous star - I was intrigued by the idea of filmmaking and by the idea of what it would be like to play a character in a movie.

I thought that somehow your life would be much different when you're famous... and it's not. You just buy more stuff.

I grew up being the girl who would always tune in to watch famous people talk about their careers how they handled scandals and mega fame. I'm trying to pick up tips.

I didn't set out to be famous if I'd wanted that I would have gone on 'Big Brother.'

I always regarded people who want fame with a lot of suspicion. Unless you have a product to sell I don't know why anyone would want to be famous. I can't imagine what need that would fill.

I'm famous for being nicer to my fans than anyone on the face of the Earth because I figure a) They pay my salary and b) It's probably like a big moment in your life to meet somebody so I would say just come on up.

I always thought it was strange when these artists like Kurt Cobain or whoever would get really famous and say 'I don't understand why this is happening to me.' There is a mathematical formula to why you got famous. It isn't some magical thing that just started happening.

Celebrity culture it's everywhere isn't it? It's reality TV Big Brother. I didn't become a footballer to be famous I became a footballer to be successful. I didn't want to be famous. Now people want to be famous. Why? Why would you want people following you about all day?
