Gabrielle Union on Fear

More quotes about Fear

  • "A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people."

    John F. Kennedy on Fear

  • "Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future."

    Audrey Hepburn on Fear

  • "I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."

    Thomas Paine on Fear

  • "We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict."

    Jim Morrison on Fear

  • "What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it."

    Jiddu Krishnamurti on Fear

More quotes by Gabrielle Union

  • "In Hollywood, you play a mom, and the next thing you know, you're on 'The Golden Girls.' They age you so fast."

  • "Hollywood needs to recognise all shades of African American beauty."

  • "I can't just say one time of the year I'm going to do something different. I have to commit to a lifestyle behavioral change and just try to be a little bit better today than I was yesterday."

  • "I'm not going to change the world overnight. It's one person at a time, and hopefully they're people in positions of power who can help people get in those roles and really, truly embrace colorblind casting."

  • "I think I'm drawn to more villain-type characters, because it's so cool to get to say all the things you want to say. In Hollywood, you get to this position where you have to bite your tongue so much. You take all your experiences of not being able to say what you really want to say, and channel that through your character."
