"When I was a kid, I used to be very emotional and affectionate, I cared for everyone and everything…Over the years, stress, fear and life compelled me to become cold and apathetic, never telling people I loved them when I should have, never letting people in and see my raw, personal feelings. But when I watch Listen, I’m reminded of what it’s like to feel again, to connect with people, to be empathetic and compassionate. It brings all of those emotions back up to the surface, and I remember all of those moments that I used to be ale to look at a total stranger and feel something for them. This film makes that happen."
