Sad

I've never thought of my characters as being sad. On the contrary, they are full of life. They didn't choose tragedy. Tragedy chose them.

I was a million percent in love with Edward Scissorhands. I remember looking in the mirror on the last day of shooting... and thinking how sad I was to be saying goodbye to Edward.

The tree I had in the garden as a child, my beech tree, I used to climb up there and spend hours. I took my homework up there, my books, I went up there if I was sad, and it just felt very good to be up there among the green leaves and the birds and the sky.

I really believe that all of us have a lot of darkness in our souls. Anger, rage, fear, sadness. I don't think that's only reserved for people who have horrible upbringings. I think it really exists and is part of the human condition. I think in the course of your life you figure out ways to deal with that.

When sparrows build and the leaves break forth, My old sorrow wakes and cries.

To have felt too much is to end in feeling nothing.

It doesn't hurt to feel sad from time to time.

I do believe that if you haven't learnt about sadness, you cannot appreciate happiness.

Depression is the inability to construct a future.

Good humor is the health of the soul, sadness is its poison.

Experiencing sadness and anger can make you feel more creative, and by being creative, you can get beyond your pain or negativity.

Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing - where there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger; which he knows he was meant and made to do.
