My greatest fear is feeling like a professional novelist. Somebody who creates characters, who sits down and has pieces of paper taped to the wall - what's going to happen in this scene, or this act. What I like is for it to be a much more scary, sloppy reflection of who I am.

Anger elicits anger, fear elicits fear, no matter how well meaning we may be.

Disease is an experience of a so-called mortal mind. It is fear made manifest on the body.

Fear is a question. What are you afraid of and why? Our fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if we explore them.

Stand before the people you fear and speak your mind - even if your voice shakes.
