Alia Bhatt Quotes

A kid should be told that you can have feelings.

One of the biggest things growing up that my dad taught me is that if I was okay to talk about my feelings and express how I felt and not get angry, then he would listen to me. If I had issues, I would just tell him, 'Here's how I feel, this is what I'm feeling,' either with him or with my mom.

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.

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

My mom is a therapist, and my dad has a doctorate in psychology, and growing up, I felt 'very understood.'

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

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 listen to my emotions. That's why I react once I get provoked sometimes.

We'd probably still be on the air!

We don't teach kids how to feel, we don't give them the words to go by.

I'm an emotional person. Sometimes I can't help it.

I have some anger issues.

I had what you could call a chaotic childhood. My parents divorced when I was 2; I went back and forth between my mom's and dad's houses for years. But, you know, my parents tried to do the right thing. As crazy as everything was, and as much fighting and everything, there was always a feeling of support from them.

I've never been to a shrink. But my parents were very psychologically literate - my father had undergone Freudian analysis - and we often talked about other people in psychological terms, so I picked up a lot of that.
