When we are afraid we ought not to occupy ourselves with endeavoring to prove that there is no danger, but in strengthening ourselves to go on in spite of the danger.

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is freedom.

True nobility is exempt from fear.

I don't think I'll ever feel as famous or as popular as I felt when I was a 17-year-old soccer player in Modle. Only about 20,000 people live there and 12,000 of them come to every game. Running onto...

The records of adopted children are sealed in California. That seal is considered inviolable... The judge ruled that, because I was famous, he didn't have the same rights as other kids.

It was deeply important for me to understand where Mandela came from. Because we know where he was going, and that's a famous story, but who was he? Where did he come from? What was his upbringing?

I think it's useful, as a famous person, to have as little separation between the perception of you and how you really are - because otherwise I'd be sitting here thinking I'm keeping secrets, and won...

There were a few years there when I was just so enamored with the idea of living some sort of famous person's lifestyle that really isn't suited to me.

It's interesting because people assume that because I'm famous I know all famous people.

What I've learned is that you really don't need to be a celebrity or have money or have the paparazzi following you around to be famous.

Forget about being world famous, it's hard enough just getting the automatic doors at the supermarket to acknowledge our existence.

And to me, fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality. It's fantastic when you go to premieres and people cheer you, but it's not real. And it's totally no...

There's no difference between fame and infamy now. There's a new school of professional famous people that don't do anything. They don't create anything.

I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: 'try being rich first'. See if that doesn't cover most of it. There's not much downside to being rich, other than paying taxes and having...

I'm very, very concerned about the Bush presidency. I'm worried about the kinds of cuts in domestic programs that mean something to a lot of people, including members of my family, who depend on certa...

I love film. After a yummy meal for the whole family and some truly great friends, we often go out to see something beautiful and unique.

Choosing to be in the theatre was a way to put my roots down somewhere with other people. It was a way to choose a new family.

I sometimes wonder if the tragedies my family has suffered are a kind of karmic price for all the fame and fortune the Bee Gees have had.

One's nativity is not of his own choosing, but whatever it may be, it is entitled to respect and all nations have honorable place in the world's family.
