Kristin Bauer van Straten Quotes

People call me the human emoji because I think people recognize that if I'm ever thinking something or feeling a certain emotion, it goes straight to my face. So if I'm happy, you'll know I'm happy, and if I'm mad, you'll know I'm mad just by looking at me.

I am the kind of guy who wears his heart on his sleeve.

I wear my heart on my sleeve. I'm human, and everything doesn't go right all the time.

I'm bad at hiding my emotions.

I'm someone who wears their heart on their sleeve.

I wear my heart on my sleeve and I am known for getting a little bit emotional at times.

I think there's a little bit of idiot in everybody and I think some people cover it better than others but I think I am very much a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve.

I am either blessed or cursed with having little barrier between feeling emotions and displaying them for all to see. My heart is on my sleeve. It's not comfortable but...I am an artist so it's useful and my friends are used to me getting teary at any moment. So, it just runs through me and I know it will continue to, but my best source of grounding are animals and nature. Animals live more in the moment and don't worry so much! And nature is proof of a greater power than myself. Both put things in perspective, or at least gently move us forward.

A big heart is both a clunky and a delicate thing; it doesn't protect itself and it doesn't hide. It stands out, like a baby's fontanel, where you can see the soul pulse through.

I was always the child who wore her emotions on her sleeve.

I've never been uncomfortable putting my heart on display, my feelings on display, certainly with an audience.

I've never gotten thick skin. If you close yourself off and you get this protective armor, there is a price you pay with that - of not feeling. And feeling is important when you are a songwriter.

I'm quick to be upset. My feelings are close to the surface. There is not much gap between a thought and a feeling with me. It makes it difficult for some people. I feel too much.

If something touches me, I cry. That's it. I'm a bit raw, a bit rubbish, really. Often, a director will say to me, 'I don't think this is a scene where your character cries.' And all I can say is, good luck with that!

I have to say that I am embarrassed about how emotional I am.

I've always been very open with my emotions. Actually, that's got me into a lot of trouble, too, in the past.

Showing your emotions is not a weakness.

One of the things I like to do is people's hearts are on their sleeve, whether it's a good or a bad heart.

I have to not harden my heart, because I want to stay open to feel things.

I'm happy to announce to the world that I'm a crier. It doesn't take a lot for me to cry at stuff.

If it comes down to a choice between being unloved and being vulnerable and sensitive and emotional, then you can just keep your love.

To become romantic artists, we must pierce the armor that hides our hearts, and the piercing is not comfortable.

Part of me is made of glass, and also, I love you.

The better the artist, the more vulnerable he seems to be.

That's just the point: an honest and sensitive man opens his heart, and the man of business goes on eating - and then he eats you up.
