“The real challenge in acting is in comedy. It's easier to get that gasp in a drama. Not easy, because you still have to find that emotional pitch. And when you do something in drama and you hear that sob from the audience it's so fulfilling. But as a comic actor, when the laugh is supposed to come and you punch in that line and nothing happens it is dreadful. It's horrific and you feel like dying right there.” FeelsStillsRealHappensActorsEasyChallengesLinesActingAudienceLaughingComedyDyingEmotionalEasierDramaThings HappenComicFulfillingHorrificFeel Like Dying Author:George Takei
“We create our own reality because of our inner emotional - our subconscious - reality draws us into those situations from which we learn. We experience it as strange things happening to us (and) we meet the people in our lives that we need to learn from. And so we create these circumstances at a very deep metaphysical and subconscious level.” PeopleNeedsRealityLevelsSituationOur LivesEmotionalStrangeCircumstancesDrawsHappeningsThings HappenSubconsciousMetaphysicalStrange ThingsVery DeepPeople In Our Lives Author:Edgar Mitchell
“Music is, by far, the best art. Nothing even comes close. It's so immediate and emotional. In writing, maybe ninety percent of it is the unconscious and ten percent is control. In music, I think it's probably more like ninety-nine percent the unconscious. It's just a beautiful thing happening through you. And so, too, is writing a great story.” ThinkingWritingArtStoriesBeautifulEmotionalTenMusic IsHappeningsPercentThings HappenNineUnconsciousBeautiful ThingsNinetyNinety NineBest Art Author:T.C. Boyle

“In order to handle emotional pain I cry. I vent. I zone out in front of the TV to escape. Then, after I allow myself to feel it and be human, I try my best to put things in perspective and start moving forward again. I consciously focus on my blessings and remember what has gotten me through my past struggles: my faith and the belief that everything happens for a reason.” FeelsTryingHumansReasonHappensPainPastRememberMovingOrderBeliefStruggleFocusFrontsCryEmotionalTvsPerspectiveBlessingThings HappenHandleMoving ForwardZoneMy PastEmotional PainEverything Happens For A ReasonHappens For A ReasonMy Blessing Author:Trista Sutter
“What I like about The Meddler style of movie is that it's a fairly lighthearted romantic comedy, but there are hidden moments where something happens that's unexpected, that hopefully have some kind of emotional resonance that you didn't see coming.

“In terms of writing, I think something happens to you, and you think, "Oh I'm going to write about that. That's an emotional event." But obviously, if you keep going, and it's something you do with regularity, you've got to find other ways to write.” IfsThinkingWayWritingHappensTermEventsEmotionalThings HappenKeep GoingRegularity Author:David Gray
