“Fear of emotional contact with men out of fear of being a sexual suspect makes boys, ironically, even more powerless before girls. Homophobia is like telling the United States it will be a sissy nation if it doesn't get all its oil from OPEC.” IfsMenStatesGirlNationsUnitedBoysUnited StatesEmotionalOilContactSuspectsPowerlessHomophobiaSissyOpec Author:Warren Farrell
“I'm very sensitive. Because my mum was my primary emotional caregiver growing up, I found myself being pinned into dresses, darting her dresses, choosing her high heels for the evening or what to wear. I'm very much a mommy's boy.” FoundBoysGrowing UpGrowingEmotionalDressesEveningPrimariesSensitiveHeelsMumHigh HeelsCaregivers Author:Tom Hardy
“People who take books on sex to bed become frigid. You get self-conscious. You can't think a story. You can't think, "I shall do a story to improve mankind." Well, it's nonsense. All the great stories, all the really worthwhile plays, are emotional experiences. If you have to ask yourself whether or not you love a girl or you love a boy, forget it. You don't. A story is the same way. You either feel a story and need to write it, or you better not write it.” PeopleIfsThinkingWayNeedsFeelsWritingWellsBookSelfPlayStoriesGirlAsksSexForgetBoysMankindEmotionalBedConsciousNonsenseWorthwhileForget ItSelf ConsciousFrigid Author:Ray Bradbury
“You're looking, moment by moment and scene by scene, how you can tell the most interesting story. So, we had this great short and we knew that we had a story about a boy and his dog. Because we had that pure emotional core, we could go on crazy tangents and always come back to Victor and Sparky.

“There was a period of time between 2005 and 2008 that was pretty challenging. I had taken a leap of faith and moved to Los Angeles from New York, which had been incredible to me professionally. I couldn't get arrested in this town. There was a lot of doubt and fear that crept in, and boy, did insecurity stick her foot up in it. There were many obstacles that were overcome during that very dark period - creative, financial, emotional, and spiritual - and I'm here, standing, stronger than ever.” SpiritualChallengesDarkBoysCreativeTakenDoubtFeetNew YorkEmotionalPeriodsStandingOvercomingStrongerTownsMovedSticksIncrediblesFinancialObstaclesInsecurityLos AngelesLeapArrestedLeap Of FaithDoubt And FearStronger Than Ever Author:Erica Tazel
“My particular interest area is working in issues of emotional literacy. What I see of the way that we educate boys and more than that, the way we socialize boys within their families and then in schools to me is tantamount to just removing any element of emotional intelligence from them.” WaySchoolInterestBoysIssuesEmotionalParticularElementsAreasEducateEmotional IntelligenceLiteracyEmotional Literacy Author:John Amaechi
“Combining the lack of emotional literacy they may be imbued with, with the fact that if you're black you're not supposed to be that smart and if you... as a boy you're not even supposed to like school. All of the sudden you've got kids who are afraid, black kids and Latino kids who are afraid to be great, afraid to bask in the enjoyment of education, lest they be labeled less than black, less than Latino, less they be called the oreo.” IfsMayFactsKidsSchoolBlackBoysEmotionalSmartSupposed To BeEnjoymentLiteracyLatinoCombiningOreosEmotional Literacy Author:John Amaechi
“Most artists are making as much money now as they could have made... in the heyday of Def Jam [when the] Beastie Boys would sell 10 million records or DMX would sell 6 or 7 million records. Those records are one thing, but then all the other ways to exploit the emotional relationship between artist and community is so much greater that I would guess that they're making as much or more money than they could have ever made.” WayMadeArtistCommunityBoysMillionsRecordsGreaterOne ThingEmotionalSellsMore MoneyExploitsJamHeydayEmotional Relationship Author:Russell Simmons
