“I think it's really important, when you're redefining a character [ Spider-Man], for the audience to experience things that they haven't experienced, from the ground up. I wanted to build a character. I feel like point of view is a really crucial thing in the story, and that you need to build up the emotional building blocks, so that you can experience all the other emotions in a very specific way, rather than just experiencing it in an intellectual way.” ThinkingMenWayNeedsFeelsImportantCharacterStoriesWantedViewsEmotionAudienceHavensBuildingEmotionalIntellectualPoint Of ViewBlockCrucialSpidersSpider ManBuilding BlocksRedefining Author:Marc Webb
“I don't really identify with America, I don't really feel like an American or part of the American experience, and I don't really feel like a member of the human race, to tell you the truth. I know I am, but I really don't. All the definitions are there, but I don't really feel a part of it. I think I have found a detached point of view, an ideal emotional detachment from the American experience and culture and the human experience and culture and human choices.” ThinkingKnowsFeelsHumansAmericaChoicesCultureFoundViewsRaceEmotionalMembersIdealsDefinitionsPoint Of ViewHuman RaceHuman ExperienceDetachmentDetached Author:George Carlin
“The thing that always interests me from a storytelling point of view is how that moment of trauma, whatever the trauma is, even divorce, your dog dies, whatever it is, the consequence, in terms of people's emotional lives and the way it resonates behaviorally for a long time is really the stuff that interests me.” PeopleWayLongMomentsDiesStuffTermInterestViewsDogEmotionalLong TimeConsequenceDivorceTraumaPoint Of ViewStorytellingThat MomentEmotional Life Author:Steven Bochco
“The hardest thing over the years has been having the courage to go against the dominant wisdom of the time to have a view that is at variance with the present consensus and bet that view. The hard part is that the investor must measure himself not by his own perceptions of his performance, but by the objective measure of the market. The market has its own reality. In an immediate emotional sense the market is always right so if you take a variant point of view you will always be bombarded for some time by conventional wisdom as expressed by the market.” IfsYearsHas BeensHardRealityViewsEmotionalPerceptionPerformancesPoint Of ViewHardestObjectivesInvestorsConventionalDominantHardest ThingConsensusConventional WisdomVarianceBombarded Author:Michael Steinhardt
“I think artists are going to express things from an emotional point of view, that's their job, to suggest and interpret, and report what they witness. That's their job as artists, you're looking for the rub, where's the rub, you're a storyteller, you're looking for the rub, not necessarily the solutions, or you're not necessarily educated, you're not the winner of a debate contest, a national debate contest, you're not necessarily a person who has a doctorate in anything.” ThinkingPersonsJobsArtistViewsEmotionalSolutionsPoint Of ViewDebateEducatedWitnessWinnerReportsStorytellerContestsDoctorates Author:Maynard James Keenan
“I have received emails from readers who have said that they were emotionally impacted by the books, and they feel they are more environmentally aware and energized to do more. So that's hopeful to me. It is at least evidence of what I'm trying to do - trying to convey very intense emotional experiences by being very close in on character points of view to make you feel it in your body. That's one way to get the point across, by evoking a visceral response.” TryingBookCharacterEmotionalEvidenceResponsePoint Of ViewIntenseHopeful Author:Jeff VanderMeer
“The process of inner self-examination brings about a knowledge that is as rigorous and supported by evidence as anything science has to offer. At the same time, this point of view redefines faith as a knowledge that is attained not only by intellectual means, but also through the rigorous development of the emotional side of the human psyche. Such emotional knowledge is unknown to the isolated intellect and has therefore been mistakenly labeled as "irrational."” MeanEmotionalIntellectualEvidenceIntellectPoint Of ViewIrrationalInner Self Author:Jacob Needleman
