I don’t share lots of the phobias that horror movies tap into. I don’t mind spiders or snakes or darkness.
I was not a nice little girl. My favorite summertime hobby was stunning ants and feeding them to spiders.
I reckon my fear landscape would be me having to jump out of a plane or having to skydive. I would see that as one of the scariest things ever. And then also, I’m really not a fan of spiders and bugs.
It’s so bizarre, I’m not scared of snakes or spiders. But I’m scared of butterflies. There is something eerie about them. Something weird!
Written laws are like spiders’ webs, and will, like them, only entangle and hold the poor and weak, while the rich and powerful will easily break through them.
I have mentally overcome situations most of you would be terrified to ever attempt: heights, fire, needles, spiders, snakes, angry monkeys, being shot, being hit by a car, going blind – you name it, I have been in a situation where I have had to mentally overcome my inherent fears to do my job.

Honest to God, all my life I have had such a fear of spiders. In fact, I use to have a reoccurring dream about one. Very clearly, it was black with a red head. It would sit up in the corner of the bedroom and when it started getting closer, I would wake up in a panic.
I never kill insects. If I see ants or spiders in the room, I pick them up and take them outside. Karma is everything.
I am claustrophobic, I hate spiders, I don’t love snakes but I would take a snake over a spider and I couldn’t do a sky dive.
We live on the circumference of a hollow circle. We draw the circumference, like spiders, out of ourselves: it is all criticism of criticism.
I like normal stuff people fear – like spiders and heights. I’m frightened by the unknown, by things that are hard to figure out and get a grip on.
What I am interested in with birds, just as I am with spiders or monkeys, is what they do and why they do it.
Written laws are like spiders’ webs, and will, like them, only entangle and hold the poor and weak, while the rich and powerful will easily break through them.
