“Moods are not to be confused with emotions. Moods will dispose you to having an emotion.

Whenever you're in an emotional state, you have some sort of agitated desire. So, emotions are fairly special -- I am not always in some sort of emotional state or other, but I think I am always in some mood or other.”
