I’m a movie maker, but I have the same feelings as the average guy out there.

Listen with your eyes for feelings.

Do not give in too much to feelings. A overly sensitive heart is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth.

I don’t think I’ve ever read poetry, ever.

When we trust God more than our feelings, it confuses the devil. I mean, when he throws you his best shot and he can’t budge you from believing God, he won’t know what to do with you anymore.

I can honestly say – and it’s a big surprise to me – that I have never had a dream about being on the moon.

Wives are people who feel they don’t dance enough.

To have in general but little feeling, seems to be the only security against feeling too much on any particular occasion.

Songs for me are like a message in a bottle. You send them out to the world, and maybe the person who you feel that way about will hear about it someday.

A lot of preachers‘ kids are some of the most rebellious kids in the world. I never was like that.

I did not learn the flaws of the criminal-justice system in law school or college or by reading about it. I grew up knowing the flaws and how it was disproportionately impacting the black community. It’s not academic for me.

Proverbs are always platitudes until you have personally experienced the truth of them.

When I was little… I didn’t relate to princesses. I saw Maleficent, and I just thought she was so – she was so elegant.

There is no way I would ask others to go on a Virgin Galactic flight if I didn’t feel it was safe enough for myself.

There is a boundary to men’s passions when they act from feelings; but none when they are under the influence of imagination.

Oh, I’ve always been very… Emotional. ‚Hypersensitive‘ is what they call it, I think.

Feelings are more dangerous than ideas, because they aren’t susceptible to rational evaluation. They grow quietly, spreading underground, and erupt suddenly, all over the place.

There is always something ridiculous about the emotions of people whom one has ceased to love.

Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not.

I’ve been writing poems since I was in the Navy – to Rosalynn. I found I could say things in poems that I never could in prose. Deeper, more personal things. I could write a poem about my mother that I could never tell my mother. Or feelings about being on a submarine that I would have been too embarrassed to share with fellow submariners.

Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me.

What loneliness is more lonely than distrust?

All violent feelings have the same effect. They produce in us a falseness in all our impressions of external things, which I would generally characterize as the pathetic fallacy.

I have learned from personal experience that putting trust in God means there will be some unanswered questions. That was a hard lesson for me because I naturally want to understand everything… to know what’s going on so I can feel like I’m in control.

I’ve got a crush on my backing singer.

I don’t have this feeling that 70 is really old.

We must act out passion before we can feel it.

Religious faith, like political belief, should be based on reasoning, on the development of thought and feelings. The two things are inseparable.

All emotion is involuntary when genuine.

A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone’s feelings unintentionally.

I never give advice unless someone asks me for it. One thing I’ve learned, and possibly the only advice I have to give, is to not be that person giving out unsolicited advice based on your own personal experience.

It’s presumptuous to say you know how somebody feels.

Love is only one of many passions.

The knighthood was a tremendous honour, I don’t dismiss it. But I feel embarrassed by the flowery, theatrical stuff that goes with being an actor.

I’m such an emotional and sensitive person, so it only makes sense that my songs are as well.

I know from personal experience how damaging it can be to live with bitterness and unforgiveness. I like to say it’s like taking poison and hoping your enemy will die. And it really is that harmful to us to live this way.

I’m an emotional person.

The usual fortune of complaint is to excite contempt more than pity.

In all my days of schooling, from preschool all the way up to 12th grade, there was not one white person in my class. Literally zero.

I mean, I went to a Catholic boys‘ school for a year, but that was to play hockey. Religion class was quite contentious for me.

I understood at a very early age that in nature, I felt everything I should feel in church but never did. Walking in the woods, I felt in touch with the universe and with the spirit of the universe.

This thing comes to me, not by the hearing of the ear, but by my own personal experience: I know of a surety that Jesus manifests Himself unto His people as He doth not unto the world.

Love is not altogether a delirium, yet it has many points in common therewith.

In this business you have to develop a thick skin, but I’m always going to feel everything. It’s my nature.

When you look at me, when you think of me, I am in paradise.

I don’t do research. I never have.

People tend to think that because I’m a performer and I don’t go to a regular high school that I haven’t personally been affected by bullies. But it’s actually quite the contrary.

Whatever I’m feeling, whatever I’m going through, whatever mood I’m in… If I’m feeling like dancing or clubbing, then it will be reflected in the music. If I’m feeling dark and vulnerable, then it will reflect in the music, too.

When I was in my teens I had issues with OCD.

I became a Republican in 1951, the first year I could vote.

I have discovered that my interest in my dear pupil, Mabel, has ripened into a far deeper feeling than that of mere friendship. In fact, I know that I have learned to love her very sincerely.

Of what use is a philosopher who doesn’t hurt anybody’s feelings?

When we’re falling in love or out of it, that’s when we most need a song that says how we feel. Yeah, I write a lot of songs about boys. And I’m very happy to do that.

What is moral is what you feel good after, and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.
