I've never been uncomfortable putting my heart on display, my feelings on display, certainly with an audience.
I'm wide open and raw emotionally to the crowd.
I am known to wear my heart on my sleeves.
When I was younger, I thought I had to shut myself off, work really hard to cry. I learned after a while that that's just not... You know, often in life, you cry when you're caught off-guard. That's where I need to be when I'm acting, too.
I don't temper how I feel. I'm Greek. I've got emotions.
In terms of fitting in, you know, I don't have a lot of armor up. I'm a raw nerve and it's really uncomfortable for a lot of people.
I think people are made uncomfortable by uncensored expressions of emotion.
Playing is just about feeling. Playing isn't necessarily about misery. Playing isn't necessarily about happiness. But it's just about letting yourself feel all those things that you have already on the inside of you, but you're all the time trying to push them aside because they don't make for polite conversation or something.
I always wear my heart on my sleeve.
I am the kind of guy who wears his heart on his sleeve.
Some people wear their heart on their sleeve; I do that in more ways than one.
I wear my heart on my sleeve. I'm human, and everything doesn't go right all the time.
But truth is most likely to be exhibited by the general sense of contemporaries, when the feelings of the heart can be expressed without suffering itself to be disguised by the prejudices of man.
The thing about kids is that they express emotion. They don't hold back. If they want to cry, they cry, and if they are in a good mood, they're in a good mood.
I'm drawn to raw material and raw emotions.
I think the problem is I really wear my heart on my sleeve, so when I like someone I tell them how it is.
I'm someone who wears their heart on their sleeve.
Maudlin scenes where people pour their heart out to one another? I don't want to see it.
The blues is deceptively simple. Verse and chorus. Sometimes not even a chorus. Four bars that repeat, no Auto-Tune, electricity optional. It is the most direct, bare-bones of content. There is no interference between the head and heart.
If you really want to know someone, you must see their emotions off guard. That's how I know Joan Crawford could never have been cruel to her children. I really knew her, when she was still Billie, as she liked to be called in the early days. In a relationship as close as ours, I had the chance to see her in every kind of personal situation.
