Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

I don't dare postulate about science, but I know that it takes both emotion and intellect in order for art to happen.

Beauty ought to look a little surprised: it is the emotion that best suits her face. The beauty who does not look surprised, who accepts her position as her due - she reminds us too much of a prima donna.

With the CGI, suddenly there's a thousand enemies instead of six - the army goes off into the horizon. You don't need that. The audience loses its relationship with the threat on the screen. That's something that's consistently happening and it makes these movies like video games and that's a soulless enterprise. It's all kinetics without emotion.

To be a character who feels a deep emotion, one must go into the memory's vault and mix in a sad memory from one's own life.

This kind of forgetting does not erase memory, it lays the emotion surrounding the memory to rest.

If you want to make someone feel emotion, you have to make them let go. Listening to something is an act of surrender.

Emotion is the surest arbiter of a poetic choice, and it is the priest of all supreme unions in the mind.

Any time you put a cast like this in compromising circumstances or shake it up a little bit, I think we're all pretty close so we draw on real emotion.

A lyric, it is true, is the expression of personal emotion, but then so is all poetry, and to suppose that there are several kinds of poetry, differing from each other in essence, is to be deceived by wholly artificial divisions which have no real being.

A real gentleman, even if he loses everything he owns, must show no emotion. Money must be so far beneath a gentleman that it is hardly worth troubling about.

There was tremendous emotion. Every shift was so emotional.
