I always felt more emotionally attached to Cambodia than I did to Vietnam.
When somebody’s face-to-face with you saying, ‘I may not have been here had I not read your book,’ how do you respond to that? The first several times I traveled, it was almost too much. I was totally grateful, but emotionally, it was really hard.

The ‘Demon King’ takes out a lot out of Finn Balor the man emotionally and mentally.
I hated my childhood. It was loathsome. My parents were deaf and dumb. Profoundly so. They could make noises when they were emotionally aroused, but they couldn’t form it into speech.

I have four and nine-year-old sons, and the world that they are navigating is vastly different to the one I grew up in.

I’m a sucker for the big, gruff, distant, emotionally closed-off hero who sloooowly warms up to the feisty, awesome, sweet heroine.
I get very tired of books that feel emotionally empty. I would much rather have writers err on the side of being overly sentimental than not. I think that the perfect balance is a story that moves you without being maudlin, but I don’t enjoy books that are empty of emotion and there’s no connection to the characters.
I’m not interested in anything but emotionally driven stories; that’s why almost all of my work is exclusively anchored by women.

When you’re a choreographer and you put so much into a routine that’s emotionally driven, those are like my ideas and my little babies that I have here and then I put them out there and they’re there to be judged and looked at. When it’s all over, it’s just such a relief.
One of my earliest memories was watching Ken Patera and Big John Studd cut Andre The Giant’s hair. That was the first thing that had a serious effect on me emotionally. I was just moping around the house all day. I couldn’t believe they did this to Andre The Giant.
Yeah, Jacob transforms a lot in ‘New Moon.’ Not only physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. So it was a matter of getting to the gym and eating the right foods and a lot of it. But also, reading and studying the book and my character over and over and over again so I could have his character down as well.
I think what actors have to do, what performers have to do to emotionally get to that place and have a camera and have your face 20 feet high on a screen, is such an incredible thing.

Young children especially are receiving so much of the world through their ears and their eyes, particularly if they’re pre-literate. So engaging them with sound, particularly sound that stirs them emotionally because of the sequence of notes, will make them pay attention.
As I get older, the more I don’t want my life to be emotionally out of balance in the way it was in my twenties.
Clubs have sponsors. They are just there for commercial reasons but the club calls them partners. Then you have the fans. The fans are emotionally involved, they are loyal, and the clubs call them customers. I think fans owning a share of the club would mean the owners know what ‘customers’ really think and feel.
A bad girl can emotionally make a guy feel like a girl because they break hearts, too. A bad girl is dangerous because she might be honest with you and say, ‘Listen you’re not the only one. I just want you to be my friend,’ and sometimes that might affect a guy in a weird way.
I want my kids to have passion for life, to really have a passion for life. I think when you have a passion for something, you can overcome obstacles, if you float through life without having anything to hold on to or get you fired up emotionally and to focus on, I think it’s really hard to overcome things.
