“I love Kimberly Peirce. Incredibly intense is a good way of describing her. Brutally honest. Really sharp. She's a director for actors. That's what she's best at, sitting down with an actor and just getting to the heart of what a scene is. And getting to the heart of not just what the scene is and the character is, but what you are, and how to build that bridge between the "me" and the character, and those emotions.” WayHeartCharacterActorsEmotionHonestSceneDirectorsSittingIntenseBridgesDescribingGood WaySitting DownBrutally Honest Author:Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Music is the back drop of what you talk about.” IfsDifferentWholeEyeSoundEmotionMusic IsDaughterSittingScaryFlyingBackgroundsButterflyHer Eyes Author:Yung Joc
“Sitting in the movie theater watching "Star Wars," I've never had an experience with any form of entertainment that was like that. It was almost spiritual. I couldn't believe that someone's mind created that. And, right, it felt like George Lucas had a piano that was playing my emotions, and he could go ahead and do whatever he wanted and make me lean forward if he wanted, or he could make me go oh, or he could make me hide my face.” IfsMindBelieveWarWantedFacesSpiritualFormStarsFeltEmotionSittingTheaterEntertainmentPianoMovie Theater Author:Will Smith
“The eyes and ears, seeing and hearing, are external plunderers; emotions, desires, and opinions are internal plunderers.
