Do one thing every day that scares you.

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

We have a choice when we face difficult decisions: We can act with faith or we can act with fear. There are no guarantees except this one: If we dwell on our fears, we will definitely miss the joys of the unexpected.

Worry is a form of atheism. And so is most fear.

Fearlessness is not the absence of fear. It's the mastery of fear. It's about getting up one more time than we fall down.

As African American, gay drag queens, we live with more adversity and challenges.

God is much in the difficult home problems as in the times of quiet and prayer.

My mother didn't want me to be a feminist, a radical, political person, because she was scared. She wanted me to be protected and safe, but my life never was.

My problem on 'Safe' was that when I liked something, I would giggle.

I was still afraid to sing in front of people before 'Glee.'

The worst isn't the last thing about the world. It's the next to the last thing. The last thing is the best. It's the power from on high that comes down into the world, that wells up from the rock-bottom worst of the world like a hidden spring. Can you believe it? The last, best thing is the laughing deep in the hearts of the saints, sometimes our hearts even. Yes. You are terribly loved and forgiven. Yes. You are healed. All is well.

Faith is stepping out into the unknown with nothing to guide us but a hand just beyond our grasp.
