Performing is a profound experience at least for me. It's not as if I sit down and play 'Fire and Rain' by myself just to hear it again. But to offer it up... the energy that it somehow summons live takes me right back and I do get a reconnection to the emotions.

I was emotionally and physically punched in the stomach. This is not a place where you go and deliver the lines and then you come back. It's kind of a life-changing experience. But it can't get better than this for any actor - this is like an opera.

Joy rather than happiness is the goal of life for joy is the emotion which accompanies our fulfilling our natures as human beings. It is based on the experience of one's identity as a being of worth and dignity.

There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth yet until we have felt its force it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul.

Sometimes when we weep in the movies we weep for ourselves or for a life unlived. Or we even go to the movies because we want to resist the emotion that's there in front of us. I think there is always a catharsis that I look for and that makes the movie experience worthwhile.

The experience of life consists of the experience which the spirit has of itself in matter and as matter in mind and as mind in emotion as emotion etc.

Take control of your consistent emotions and begin to consciously and deliberately reshape your daily experience of life.

Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience.
