I’ve had countless reviews sort that have made me cry. It’s funny, it doesn’t ever get better either; you can’t turn your ears off.
I took the role because it’s rare to read a script that makes me laugh and cry, and it spoke to my own religious feelings, as well as giving me a chance to draw on my experience as a parent. Accepting it was a no-brainer.
When you’re acting and you need to cry, you want to put yourself in a position where you’re trying not to cry, because that is generally what people try and do. They try to hold on to their emotions, they don’t want to lose them.

The worst is when I know I’m going to have to cry in a scene.
You know what? I don’t care. I’m my own guy. I’m very secure with my sexuality. I can cry anytime I want.

My thing has always been, I’ve never been very open and vulnerable with people, so the minute I got this dog, everything changed. It just opened me up and made me more loving… It’s all because of him… He’s made me a better person… I can tell people what I feel now. I can cry in front of people sometimes.
We know enough to stand here in truth – facing pain, cry and suffering of those who were murdered here. Face to face with the victims’ families who are here today. Before the judgment of our own conscience.
Pope Francis has stressed humility and austerity – a far cry, according to many, from the predecessor’s bling and Ferragamo shoes – those were pretty entertaining. And he’s translating all of that into a policy agenda.
If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that’s a full day. That’s a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you’re going to have something special.
It is better to laugh than cry.
We live in a period in which political disagreements are routinely handed over to the courts. Whenever you think that the president is wrong, you might well cry out that he has violated the Constitution – and ask federal judges to rule accordingly.
If you cry ‘forward’, you must without fail make plain in what direction to go.
I don’t cry too often reading books, but I did reading Francisco Goldman’s autobiographical novel, ‘Say Her Name.’
I love the stuff that makes you laugh and cry. It kind of sucker-punches you a little bit. That’s the thing that most interests me as a performer, in addition to telling the most captivating story.
My idea for ‘BoneMan’s Daughters’ came from the loss of my own daughter when she left home to live with a monster at age 18. I wanted to throttle the man, but she was in love, so all I could do was hope, pray and cry.
The metaphor I’ve used is… somebody’s going to push my family off a cliff pretty soon, and I won’t be there to catch them. And that breaks my heart. But I have some time to sew some nets to cushion the fall. So, I can curl up in a ball and cry, or I can get to work on the nets.
I don’t know what they’ll say when I die. I don’t give a damn, but they’ll probably cry.
Men may yearn for peace, cry for peace, and work for peace, but there will be no peace until they follow the path pointed out by the Living Christ. He is the true light of men’s lives.
You’re stealing people’s secrets. You convince them to give up their life and imagine the life you’ve created is real or more interesting. If it’s a good play, they’ll cry or think private thoughts about their lives or laugh.
I’m really ultra-affected by things, I feel things deeper, and I cry at the drop of a hat, and offended and sensitive and I’m almost paranoid very easily, and that’s who I am.

I come from a mother who can cry at a G.E. commercial.
We must organize. We must protest. We must cry out in a loud voice that America needs a raise. We must keep working until workers in this country don’t have to struggle to make ends meet.
I am very emotional. It took me many years to recover from the death of my father. Even when I was playing cricket, I wasn’t happy. I would just sit and cry. I was very young. He was too young; he shouldn’t have gone. Cricket is all right. We all play sport. Good and bad days come.
I don’t keep people around me that aren’t family. You don’t get to stay. Unless you’re eating at the table with us, you’re not part. We eat together, we cry together, we live together, we die together. Everything that we do is for each other, and we care for another.
You can cry, ain’t no shame in it.
I cried when I watched ‘The Notebook’ for the first time. Any guy who tells you they didn’t cry when they watched ‘The Notebook’s just lying.
I know when I go to a movie I want to experience something, whether to laugh, to cry, to feel bad.
I am unjust, but I can strive for justice. My life’s unkind, but I can vote for kindness. I, the unloving, say life should be lovely. I, that am blind, cry out against my blindness.
I think letting babies cry it out is barbaric. Why would parenting stop when it’s dark outside? You can’t expect a baby to know that he’s supposed to sleep just because we want to go to bed.
I had a woman breakdown and cry when she met me which was difficult to deal with because immediately when someone starts to cry, you want to comfort them, you know, ‘Poor thing.’ I comforted her. I tried to make her feel better.
It is a rare mind indeed that can render the hitherto non-existent blindingly obvious. The cry ‘I could have thought of that’ is a very popular and misleading one, for the fact is that they didn’t, and a very significant and revealing fact it is too.
When I am working, I have two shows on Saturday, and when I wake up, and it’s a lovely day, I just cry. I’m joking: I love my job.
There’s just something about BJ Penn that gets people amped up. You don’t know what’s going to happen but something is going to happen. He might disappoint you, make you happy, make you cry or make you jump out of your chair, but he’ll do something to you.
I cry all the time. Music makes me cry.
I was always a drama queen. I remember playing in the kitchen, trying to get my mom to think I was dead and call the police. When she didn’t, I would cry. I was always theatrical. I don’t think any of my relatives are surprised.
If you think about it, when you listen to music, music makes you cry. It makes you happy. It makes you dance. It makes you mad. Those are the same emotions that I experience when I feel the energy of a spirit when I’m contacting the spirit and communicating with it.
Prince turned experimental music into pop music. ‘When Doves Cry,’ the whole ‘Purple Rain’ soundtrack – he was inspired by the Cocteau Twins and new wave pop and brought it into R&B when he first started, and then it became this cool, next-level, kind of hard-to-digest music. Which is what I felt ‘House of Balloons’ was.
I wouldn’t say I was grumpy. It’s more pathological – I have seismic tantrums. I get red in the face and cry at least three times a week, and I have to lie down and have a nap afterwards.
I like literature that you respond to in some way. You laugh, you cry, you turn the light on – that’s great, it’s eliciting a response by proxy.
Never cry over spilt milk, because it may have been poisoned.
The only way I can cope is to lock myself in the bathroom and cry. Sometimes I sit there for hours and even eat my lunch sitting on the toilet floor. Anything to get peace and quiet.

‘Never again’ is the rallying cry for all who believe that mankind must speak out against genocide.
There comes not seldom a crisis in the life of men, of nations, and of worlds, when the old forms seem ready to decay, and the old rules of action have lost their binding force. The evils of existing systems obscure the blessings that attend them, and, where reform is needed, the cry is raised for subversion.
I cry a lot. Usually once a day. I think it’s one of the most profound forms of human expression.

As with real families, my fictional family on ‘Life Goes On’ had its ups and downs, and as part of the fictional downers, the actors were often called to cry on cue. This absolutely terrified me, because I was a pretty happy kid who didn’t have much to cry about.
I think if a movie makes you cry, you probably needed to cry.
Whenever death may surprise us, let it be welcome if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
