Put together a seaman, soldier and airman and what do you get? The sum of all fears.

Fear is stronger than love, remember that. Fear is stronger than love. All that love I gave didn't mean nothing when it came to fear.

Sometimes when you're treated unfairly it makes you stronger and more determined. I admire that kind of strength. People who have it take a stand and put their blood and soul into what they believe.

I have this fear of falling in front of large groups of people. That's why I tend not to wear heels.

We were also told that the Russians could be parachuting from planes over our town at any time. These were the same Russians that my uncles had fought alongside only a few years earlier. Now they had become monsters who were coming to slit our throats and incinerate us. It seemed peculiar. Living under a cloud of fear like this robs a child of his spirit. It's one thing to be afraid when someone's holding a shotgun on you, but it's another thing to be afraid of something that's just not quite real.

My big fear was that my guitar would go out of tune.
