Relinquish the emotion which rests upon a mistaken belief, and seek to feel fully that emotion which fits the facts.
Some persons have lived manly or womanly lives, and they lack but one thing – open confession of the Lord Jesus Christ. Some men think that they must come to him in a certain way – that they must be stirred by emotion or something like that.

I think I have some ideas on coaching, but listen, coaches work harder than players. The hours they put in, the headaches that they have. That’s the one thing I’ve never liked about coaching. They have all the emotion, passion and preparation without actually getting to be able to dictate what happens.
Love is an emotion. It can’t be seen or touched, and it is experienced differently by everyone, therefore it is difficult to measure.

Once you get into a feature, whether it’s a sequel or an original one, you have to start all over again, and you’re creating a world, creating new characters. You’re also tracking emotions. You’re trying to create emotion and create a character that you can fall in love with for two hours.
The poet craves emotion, and feeds the fire that consumes him, and only under this condition is he baptized with creative power.
A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.

I paint on the ground. I paint with sticks, with big paint cans, and whatever else falls in it. Basically, what I’m doing is capturing unbridled emotion and putting it on canvas. It’s like capturing lightning in a bottle.
When you talk to a Republican, many of them just outright say, ‘Yeah. Climate change isn’t real,’ without assessing the facts, and it’s a big problem. It’s not a red or blue issue, it’s a green issue… Not because of facts or science but because of emotion.
I try to give each performance my own soul, to bring a truth to my character. Hopefully, when I bring that much truth to a character, it resonates with somebody, and it sparks some kind of emotion in them.

When I would visit my octopus friend, Octavia, at New England aquarium, usually she would look me in the face, flow right over to see me, and flush red with emotion when she took my arms in hers. Often when I’d stroke her she’d turn white beneath my touch, the colour of a relaxed octopus.
