Sometimes you have to do the things that scare you and that are outside of your comfort zone and challenge yourself Picture Quote #1

Air travel survived decades of terrorism, including attacks which resulted in the deaths of everyone on the plane. It survived 9/11. It’ll survive the next successful attack. The only real worry is that we’ll scare ourselves into making air travel so onerous that we won’t fly anymore Picture Quote #1

Meaning and value depend on human mind space and the commitment of time and energy by very smart people to a creative enterprise. And the time, energy, and brain power of smart, creative people are not abundant. These are the things that are scare, and in some sense they become scarcer as the demand for these talents increases in proportion to the amount of abundant computing power available Picture Quote #1

I like pushing the envelope. I like pushing myself and the audience, whether it’s a TV show or live. I like to throw people over the edge of the cliff and scare the wits out of them, but then pull them back and make them safe Picture Quote #1

My best life lessons and education didn’t come from a classroom - they’ve come from the wild. How you act in the big moments, the ones that challenge you, scare you, tempt you, and force you to make the right decisions, is what defines you Picture Quote #1

I had a book that was given to me as a kid that was called ‘Faeries.’ It was this dark, sinister book with pictures that used to scare me because they were these creepy little creatures. But, I was always really drawn to that fantasy world, more than a sci-fi world, in terms of outer space stuff Picture Quote #1

What do women do when they get together? We sit around and talk! Men, not so much. My theory is that this difference is genetic and dates back to the hunter-gatherer societies, when the men had to be quiet as they hunted, lest they scare away the bison and then everyone starved to death and it was all their fault Picture Quote #1

In my sports or workout life, I like to prove to myself I can do something, whether it’s a half marathon or whatever it is. I like to take challenges that scare me because then once we’ve accomplished it, we feel stronger Picture Quote #1

I love the fact that little kids think I’m a witch. A mum might come over and say ‘I’m sorry to disturb you, but my daughter thinks you’re in ‘Harry Potter.’ I’ll say ‘That’s cool’ and take the kid aside and say, ‘I’m a witch. If you don’t listen to your mum, I’m going to haunt you!’ It’s brilliant. I can scare kids into doing their homework Picture Quote #1

The truth of it is when you get an audience to laugh and camp along with you, it’s much easier to scare ‘em again because they’re using two sides of their emotions. It’s much easier to set them up for a good cheap thrill scare again Picture Quote #1

I love horror films, but it’s more than an adrenaline rush for me. I love them because I know they scare me. It’s kind of like I go on roller coasters, but I’m terrified of roller coasters, sort of thing Picture Quote #1

I have had some cosmetic surgery, especially after I lost weight and stuff, and I’ve had my breasts lifted - but not injected. That would scare me to death, anyway Picture Quote #1

Age is just a number, and I know so many women who look fabulous at 40, 50 and 60 so it doesn’t scare me. It’s inevitable - I will get older, and the wrinkles will come, but I’m not that bothered Picture Quote #1

American Horror’ goes for a very specific kind of Seventies suburban downer ambience - ‘Flowers in the Attic’ paperbacks, Black Sabbath album covers and late-night flicks like ‘Let’s Scare Jessica to Death.’ It even has ‘Go Ask Alice’-era urban legends Picture Quote #1

Alien abduction movies are always the scariest; no matter how cheesy they are, they still scare me for a week. I live by myself in my apartment, and I don’t worry about intruders or robbery; I mostly worry about alien abduction or evil, mean ghosts Picture Quote #1

Real-life things, like spiders and snakes, that doesn’t scare me, but if it’s a monster or a ghost or an alien, that will always scare me Picture Quote #1
