“Our relationship with food - how, when, what and why we eat - is a direct expression of our underlying feelings, thoughts and beliefs about ourselves. It has to do with stances we take that get reflected not only in our relationship with food, but in all our relationships. It just so happens that the relationship with food causes enough conflict, grief, shame and hurt that we’re willing to look at it.” LooksEnoughFeelingsHappensBeliefCausesHurtGriefFoodWillingExpressionConflictDirectShameOur RelationshipStance Author:Geneen Roth
“Poetry is creative expression; Prose is constructive expression... by creative I mean original. In Poetry the words are born or reborn in the act of thinking...

“When you're wearing an animal costume and something bad happens, your facial expression doesn't change. The animal is deadpan the whole time.

“I know as a writer how valuable a tool is the wastebasket. Perhaps God throws away many experiments before He finds the right expression.

“If I seem detached or distant, it's because I think this is a more exact reproduction of life, where you hide as much as you show. When I see a scene in which feelings get loudly exteriorized, I say to myself, 'Well, at least this never happens to me.' I very rarely go through this type of expression. Most of the time things are hidden or at least much more subdued.” IfsThinkingWellsShowsFeelingsSeemsHappensExpressionTypeSceneDetachedReproduction Author:Isabelle Huppert
“[While voicing] you have to create a feeling for what happened before a scene, what's going to happen after a scene, and what you are doing in a scene.

“While voicing animations I use the same acting muscles, even more because you have to channel all into your voice, whereas when you're live-action you get props and scenery and other actors and your facial expressions and what happens to help you.

“NEU!'s music will always ("für immer") be a part of me and I absolutely stand to what we've created. Of course I have changed since and I judge my contributions to NEU!'s music of the 70's in a historical context. They were both a description of my feelings back then as well as an expression of my musical abilities and limitations. It would be a mistake to ignore the time factor and it would be an artistic shortcoming to pick up on the old concept without doing any changes.

“S and M is only the expression in the bedroom of an oppressive-submissive relation which can happen also in the kitchen or at the factory, can happen between people of any gender.

“Desperate times call for desperate measures" is an aphorism which here means "sometimes you need to change your facial expression in order to create a workable disguise." The quoting of an aphorism, such as "It takes a village to raise a child," "No news is good news," and "Love conquers all," rarely indicates that something helpful is about to happen, which is why we provide our volunteers with a disguise kit in addition to helpful phrases of advice.” LoveNeedsMeanChildrenSometimesHappensOrderAdviceExpressionNewsAnd LoveRaisesConquerPhrasesDesperateHelpfulVillageAphorismDisguiseVolunteerGood NewsNeed A ChangeFacialQuotingFacial ExpressionLove Conquers AllYou Need To ChangeIt Takes A VillageDesperate MeasuresDesperate TimesDesperate Times Call For Desperate MeasuresIt Takes A Village To Raise A ChildVillage To Raise A Child Author:Daniel Handler
