A life lesson for me is, how do you muster the courage to take on a new risk? Whether it's starting up a business or taking on a new project or expedition. I think the risks that we take are all relative to the risk-taker.

Maybe you will be afraid and maybe you will fail, but the courage to take risks in any part of your life is, I feel, a very worthwhile way to live.

When I was straight, I had the courage and energy to become an actress. I owe my career to my will to stop using.

The one thing I learned the most about acting is it takes a tremendous amount of courage to go there and stand still. It takes courage and guts to step out of your mind frame and depict something.

Courage to continue comes from deeper sources than outward results.

There are always a few who stand up in times of communal madness and have the courage to say that what unites us is greater than what divides us.

11-Sep,2001, revealed heroism in ordinary people who might have gone through their lives never called upon to demonstrate the extent of their courage.

Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult.

You must have love as the core it takes courage to be willing to constantly tell the truth to each other and risk letting the relationship go.

Courage is a peculiar kind of fear.
