“When I'm working, I'm so narrowly focused on sound, language, rhythm, flow, that I rarely feel the emotion of the text. It's only after - long after - I've finished a piece that I can experience in any way its emotional charge.” WayFeelsLongI CanLanguageSoundEmotionPiecesEmotionalFlowFocusedFinishedRhythm Author:Taiye Selasi
“What I look for when I see a piece of art for the first time is some kind of emotional, intellectual experience, that's a combination of both of those things and is informed by my knowledge and something new that I see the artist doing.” FirstsLooksKindArtArtistPiecesEmotionalIntellectualFirst TimeCombinationSomething New Author:Cheech Marin
“Making this movie as a period piece about a period that was very recent in people's minds. I was in Taiwan [during the 1970s], so I hope I did all right. Otherwise, it could be the biggest embarrassment of my life. Also, the story is not linear, it's patchy, like a cubist painting, and there is always the possibility it will not hold together, it will fall apart. The tone is part satire, part serious drama, part tragedy, all mixed together, and it has to hit an emotional core. That's also very scary.” PeopleMindStoriesTogetherFallPiecesPossibilityEmotionalPaintingSeriousPeriodsDramaTragedyScaryCoreToneSatireFalling ApartEmbarrassmentLinearTaiwan Author:Ang Lee

“Very thorough in the rehearsal process but more in terms of just understanding the characters, understanding where the actors are at with discovering those characters for themselves, and just setting an overall emotional tone for the piece as opposed to necessarily getting things up on their feet or staging scenes.” CharacterActorsProcessUnderstandingTermPiecesFeetEmotionalSceneSettingSettingsToneDiscoveringRehearsalThoroughStaging Author:Kate Winslet
“But look at Avatar (2009), one of the most globally viewed pieces of entertainment to have ever been made - the central emotional event of the whole movie was a tree being cut down.

“I want to create a rapid response team, right around the world, perhaps starting originally with our partners, similar to the one we have in the United Nations whereby, where there's a problem in our society which demands a compassionate response, an educated, informed, not just a splurgy emotional thing, but an informed compassionate response that puts yourself in the position of the other and sees all sides of the problem, not just your own, there'll be somebody poised in each society who can write to the media, write an op-ed piece, to go on TV or radio.” WorldWantWritingProblemNationsSidesUnitedPiecesTeamMediaPositionEmotionalTvsGoes OnDemandResponseStartingRadioPartnersEducatedAround The WorldOur SocietyCompassionateUnited NationsRapidsEmotional Things Author:Karen Armstrong

“It's an ego issue. You can bruise my ego but all bruises are healed now. Ego is through the roof again, confidence level is through the roof again. Gotta keep my attitude and positive mindset. I don't even remember the last fight. I hate to say it... I know I was emotional. I'm a real emotional person. If you put everything you have into one basket and it doesn't work, it's emotional to me. When I lose, it takes a piece of my heart away.
