“If you don't have fear then you are not taking a chance.”

— Julie Taymor

60 Minutes interview (2010)
Context: Oh, yeah, I'm scared. If you don't have fear then you are not taking a chance. But what I do have is a team. If your collaborators are there, which is what answers the fear question, and they all are as impassioned as you are, and believe in it, then your fear is mitigated.
