When we make a comedy film, its important to have a light atmosphere on the sets so that the mood reflects in the film.
When people come and see Los Pacaminos the first time, the first couple of songs they’re in shock. But it’s pretty infectious and they’d have to be in a very bad mood to walk away and not like it.
When a director narrates a character, I find it normal to ask questions about the character’s background, mood swings, eccentricities, behaviour… I do this to make my performance relatable.

Personal relationships, mood, chance, or anything like that can actually affect people’s decisions, and when they’re in a position of power, their capriciousness can affect the fate of a nation.

President Obama came to office with a strong belief that America had overreached, that we had become too involved. It matched the national mood, and indeed, there was some evidence that it was true.
In love stories you have to establish the mood and then you can go on. Writing thrillers are difficult because every scene needs a twist. May be comedy is even more difficult but I have no experience of it.
As actors we are often seen well-dressed and well-behaved in the public eye but we are humans at the end of the day. Like anyone else we also get angry, upset, frustrated, get mood swings. We are loving, caring too.
I am still of opinion that only two topics can be of the least interest to a serious and studious mood – sex and the dead.
When I wake up, I put on what I’m in the mood to wear.

I actually think that self-expression comes, sometimes, from what you wear, and having the freedom to be able to wear whatever you want for whatever mood you want to wear it, but to not feel frivolous that all of those things that help you self-express have to be things that you’re committing to forever.
I’m very easily distracted unless I have music on. Listening to music while I brainstorm makes me think of scenes that would fit the mood of the music I’m playing.
I travel light. I think the most important thing is to be in a good mood and enjoy life, wherever you are.
Even though you’re filming something and it’s all scripted, there’s still a sense of ritual about it because you’re filming a ritual. It has all these little details that you want to capture, and a very specific mood and tone.

Revolution is a phase, a mood, like spring, and just as spring has its buds and showers, so revolution has its ebullience, its bravery, its hope, and its solidarity. Some of these things pass.

Hopepunk is a spirit or a mood. It isn’t an actual thing. It is a feeling. It is the Scandinavian concept of ‘hygge’ or ‘coziness’ of the mind. It is a warm, happy, charming, uplifting concept that leaves you with a fuzzy feeling in your tummy.
We’ve always known that music is good for improving your mood.
There are good and bad times, but our mood changes more often than our fortune.
I am a chameleon when it comes the way I dress. I am constantly changing it up, and I really can’t commit to one thing because dressing for the day or for an event is really a mood thing. I like variety, and I don’t mean just designers, I mean mixing the high-end garments and the cheaper clothing.
I like to exercise in the morning before work. It puts me in a good mood, which makes my coworkers happy, and jump-starts my brain, which makes me happy.
A novel can be set in motion by an incident, a character, a location, a mood – by anything at all.

When I’m in the mood for room service, my favorite order is a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich.
When I was in college or working, I had the luxury of writing on whatever subject. Now, I’m in the business, I have a deadline and pressures. Sometimes, I have to do things that I am not in the mood for.
I always improvise with the crowd. Sometimes it will be a 50 percent show, sometimes 70 percent, sometimes it’s almost a whole show where I wing it. It depends on my mood, the energy in the room. For sure, a portion of it is just kind of winging it.
During script narrations, if I feel the screenplay mood jumping abruptly, I tell the director, and they work on it.
If you get the disco or rap format on the radio, an R&B record doesn’t fit, because it will break up the mood.
I believe the director is the one that sets the mood and if you have this hysterical director it’s a domino effect. I would work for him forever, for nothing. Don’t tell my agent that.
In this cry of pain the inner consciousness of the people seems to lay itself bare for an instant, and to reveal the mood of beings who feel their isolation in the face of a universe that wars on them with winds and seas.
