As an actress emotions are my business my stock-in-trade. As such I've dealt with them nearly all my life.

The business of the poet is not to find new emotions but to use the ordinary ones and in working them up into poetry to express feelings which are not in actual emotions at all.

Comfort in expressing your emotions will allow you to share the best of yourself with others but not being able to control your emotions will reveal your worst.

An aristocratic culture does not advertise its emotions. In its forms of expression it is sober and reserved. Its general attitude is stoic.

You can't but know that if you can capture the emotions of the audience as well as their minds the play will work better because it's a narrative art form.

The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle.

The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky from the earth from a scrap of paper from a passing shape from a spider's web.

I don't think I could play a character that I couldn't relate to somehow. I'm not unfamiliar with frustration anger shame helplessness and a load of other emotions that make up our psycho-soup. I try to focus on that frustration that sense of unfairness and multiply it.

So I'm not worried about the emotions I carry with me because I'm happy that I have them I think it's good for the work I do. The emotions that are not healthy are the ones you hold inside like anger.

Your thoughts and emotions are yours alone.

I'm actually not an exhibitionist at all. When you get onstage and you get under the lights playing music I feel more hidden and more alone than anywhere else. You hide behind your music and let your emotions come out through the music.

In the first 50 years of the filibuster it was used only 35 times. But the last Congress alone had 112 cloture motions filed plus threats of more. This is the tyranny of the minority.
