Julian Baggini Quotes

Now I've come to a place where I believe that anger doesn't really make me a better actor.

I realized that if my thoughts immediately affect my body, I should be careful about what I think. Now if I get angry, I ask myself why I feel that way. If I can find the source of my anger, I can turn that negative energy into something positive.

I think the only time I show my emotions and anger is on the cricket field; otherwise, I've mellowed down. And with age, I think, with age you always end up mellowing down.

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.

If somebody pisses me off and I understand it ain't personal then I'll go to another place and I'll meditate.

All through life I've harbored anger rather than expressed it at the moment.

A certain amount of anger doesn't make us less empathetic, less humane, less loving. It just makes us real.

Self-hatred is OK. I have self-hatred, too. It's OK. What's bad is if you don't know how to get out of it, don't know how to manage it. Self-hatred is, in fact, a good thing if you can clearly see the mechanism of it, because it helps you to understand others.

I asked a shrink: 'Everything is so great. Why am I still so angry?' He said, 'Anger doesn't go away.' I always thought it was kind of a good engine.

The Anger Management Tour was another beautiful thing. I loved that tour.

I think, for one, we have to really accept that anger is a normal human emotion that can be a positive force for change.

Sometimes you get submerged by emotion. I think it's very important to express it - which doesn't necessarily mean hitting someone.

As a human being, anger is a part of our mind. Irritation also part of our mind. But you can do - anger come, go. Never keep in your sort of - your inner world, then create a lot of suspicion, a lot of distrust, a lot of negative things, more worry.

When you assume negative intent, you're angry. If you take away that anger and assume positive intent, you will be amazed. Your emotional quotient goes up because you are no longer almost random in your response.

Angry or not. It's a human emotion. But you can't walk around being angry all the time. What a dull person you'd have to be!

I like being angry every day.

I don't really get angry any more.

Everyone should have a life coach. We learn history, maths, and science at school, but we don't have the tools to understand emotions: to release them and not hold on to anger.

I was very sensitive, so when sensitivity has no place to go, it's often turned into anger or frustration.

I'm not an emotional person. I don't use the emotion train that much. I just use the happy card.

I don't know if I'm ready to know what triggers my anger. I just feel like I figured out on my own how to stay calm, how to enjoy life, how to be happy.

Anger is an unnecessary emotion. Loads of stuff in life can trigger it, but what matters is how you react. I choose not to react.

I think anger of any kind is valuable. It's all about learning how to channel it. The worst thing we can do is get bored or complacent or worse - suppress our anger and then see it burst forth in unhealthy ways.

Anger is so constructive.

Sometimes we get very frustrated here on court. It is tough to control. It is a mistake.
