Sociopaths have emotion. What they don't have is guilt.
In popular culture, sociopaths are often depicted as having no emotions (like Hannibal Lecter, for example). However, the truth is quite different. What distinguishes a sociopath from a normal person is simply that they don't feel guilt, so they'll do whatever they want to simply because they want to. The same things (besides concern for others) motivate them to do what they do.

Why do people say that they are not an emotional person?
"Emotional" used in this way is not intended to be taken strictly in the literal sense. As human beings, we are not without emotion, however constricted our affect may be or controlled our expression of those emotions may be. When used in this way, the definition of "emotional" meaning "liable to emotions" rather than "pertaining to emotions" is more accurate. As etymology suggests that "liable" means "bound or obliged by law," an emotional person would be a person whose actions are bound to their emotions. The implication is that the emotional person is acting on their emotions in the absence of or with little weight given to logic and reasoning. As logic and reasoning are often seen as reflecting the desirable attribute of intelligence, it would be natural for persons concerned with their image to deny being "emotional people." However, Emotional Intelligence, popularized in the 1960s and absorbed into modern culture by the 1980s, brought the wisdom of Eastern philosophies to the West, recognizing the importance of a balance between mind (reasoning) and spirit (emotions) in making decisions. This balance is now known by many terms, such as Wise Mind or True Self.
