"I
don't feel as shy or nervous or self-conscious. I have more confidence that I
can handle what life brings me. I don't feel scared to have an idea and express
it. I feel giddy about it because it's a complete transformation. It's like
I've found my voice." — Michelle Williams
"I
would say a magical thing happened on when the big 40th birthday came. I felt
like a light kind of just went off, and maybe that's because I felt like at 40
I had the right to say and be who I wanted to be, say what I wanted to say, and
accept what I didn't want to accept." — Halle Berry
"What
I've learned in this first 50 is that if you can allow yourself to breathe into
the depth, wonder, beauty, craziness, and strife — everything that represents
the fullness of your life — you can live fearlessly. Because you come to
realize that if you just keep breathing, you cannot be conquered." — Oprah
"Here
is my biggest takeaway after 60 years on the planet: There is great value in
being fearless. For too much of my life, I was too afraid, too frightened by it
all. That fear is one of my biggest regrets." — Diane Keaton
