Ray Charles Quotes

You have to face things, have faith in what you do and go for it. Think, 'What's the worst that could happen?'

I'll try anything once. It's always good to see peoples' faces surprised - surprised that I race, or that I surf, that I trekked through the Himalayas. As long as I don't die, I'm good.

I have swung on a flying trapeze, explored a glacier, and been hit in the face by a shark's tail while scuba diving. I like to throw myself fully into projects and adventures, which is probably how I managed to publish a book in the first place.

I've seen so many scripts, and I want to do everything. Like with kiteboarding, you have to be fearless. I'm not scared.

My life has been long, and believing that life loves the liver of it, I have dared to try many things, sometimes trembling, but daring still.

I've always been the, 'Sure, I'll try that' guy. I'm very adventurous and don't have fears. I think I got that from my mother's side because she was an Olympic skier. Jump off a mountain with a parachute? Sure. What could possibly go wrong?

It's a little dangerous to be a badass.

When you're not afraid to fail, you'll most certainly have the confidence to succeed.

Those who take risks walk the high wire with no fear of falling.

Having guts always works out for me.

I have tried to establish the right to dare everything.

Who wanted to creep along in comfort when there was one chance in a thousand of flying?

I'm an adventurer. I believe in being bold and brave - and taking risks. Even if I'm afraid of something, I'll still have a go at it.

Sometimes being young and confident is better than being old with experience...when I was young I wasn't scared about anything

Genuine fearlessness arises with the confidence that we will be able to gather the inner resources to deal with any situation that comes our way.

I'm much more of a risk taker. I'm more fearless now than when I was 18. I was much more self-aware and I cared too much about what people thought of me and now I really don't. I probably should.

Courage is exhilarating.

I never take counsel of my fears.

Because you aren't afraid to kiss the dirt (and consequently dare to climb the sky)

I'm not the guy who's afraid of failure. I like to take risks, take the big shot and all that.

Trust...trust your fellow actors to support you; trust them to come through if you lay something heavy on them; trust yourself.

Some people call it fearless, some people call it confidence. And I feel I'm confident of whatever I do.
