Diego Luna Quotes

Therapy? I don't need that. The roles that I choose are my therapy.

I have been blessed with roles that allow me to express something very personal at a specific time in my life. I seek them out; acting is my therapy.

Acting's not therapy, but it can be therapeutic.

Being in therapy is great. I spend an hour just talking about myself. It's kinda like being the guy on a date.

It was difficult for me to feel my feelings, so I just buried them. Then I found that acting was a way for me to get them out. But now that I'm a reasonably sane adult, acting is more about my trying to engage other people: Acting is cathartic for the viewer as well.

I think acting is therapeutic for me.

Anyone who has problems, or worries, anyone who laughs and cries, anyone who feels can write. It's only talking on paper... talking about the things that matter to us.

I went into acting as psychotherapy, and it's still a work in progress.

'Psychotherapy' is a private, confidential conversation that has nothing to do with illness, medicine, or healing.

Acting can be an amazingly cathartic thing - especially for young girls.

I went to a psychotherapist for a year and a bit, and it was fantastic. I went in with a very clear question: I couldn't work out why I behaved in a certain way in certain situations, and I got that answered.

Fortunately analysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts. Life itself still remains a very effective therapist.

I'm not a super emotional person, so that's one reason I love acting - it makes me deal with myself in that kind of way.

I do find acting cathartic.

I tend to write songs critiquing myself. The best way for me to deal with stuff is to write a song about it... That's not to say all my songs are like that.

The acting served as an outlet for my emotions for some time because I was doing it under the guise of someone else. And that can only be therapeutic up to a point until you truly deal with it and can express it to someone directly. Acting was a helpful outlet for me as a child. In some ways, I can say it saved my life.

I've always written down how I feel.

The reason I write is that I'm not in dialogue with my emotions; writing puts me in touch with myself.

I didn't never have to go to a therapist. I just always put it in a song and you heard me.

I feel like my music at least allows me to release the other side of me, a more vulnerable and sensitive side.

Every role that one does - at least, that's what happens in my case - becomes a sort of therapy.

I don't keep a journal anymore. I did when I was younger, and I think its good for young girls to try and express what they are feeling on paper; it's cathartic.

I love books, and all the best ones are people analysing their own emotions. You can learn from that.

I'm shy, and I can hide behind my acting and discover the truth about myself because it's cathartic in that way. But I tend not to read reviews.

Acting has always been a way for me to express the emotions I had buried. If I hadn't acted, I would have gone insane. In my acting class, I could let out my real tears and everyone thought it was the character. But no, it was me.
