I really want as many people as possible to relate to something, without compromising or dumbing down.
I think every business, really, has a unique reason for being, unique assets, unique attributes, a unique history. And that can be turned into a very attractive design story, essentially, that consumers can relate to.
I think people do want to relate their entertainment to what’s going on in their lives. Not everything.
I understand why it’s hard to pin me down because I really relate to so many things. Like, for example, when people ask me what’s my favorite music, I can’t tell them. I love everything.
I think everyone can relate to that fall from grace – having life change in an instant or having to stand for some of your bad choices, that feeling of ‘Nothing is ever going to be good again.’
I always want the audience to identify with my character in some way. I mean, sometimes you’ll get characters that aren’t very identifiable. Sometimes you can’t relate to your character at all. I think it’s important to keep the audience interested. But the best advice that I’ve gotten is to live in the moment.
When you have a little one, you realize that your only mission in life is to protect this helpless, very sensitive creature. That is your charge. That’s primal. I relate to that deeply.
Soul music is true to its name. It’s music that connects to your soul, your spirit. When music resonates with people’s spirit like that, when people can emotionally connect with something or it helps to heal them, transform them, that never goes out of style. People will always need something to relate to.
The thing that has made YouTube so successful is that you can relate to the people you’re watching to a much higher degree than to the people you see on TV.

Seeing someone that you can relate to in the media is everything as a child, and a lot of people are not granted that luxury.

A family going through a divorce, a child under attack by a demon, all these things I could relate to.
When I was young, there weren’t any teenage girls I could relate to in film. They were all put in boxes: the virginal good girl, the really sarcastic asexual one. I wanted to do something that represented how I felt then.
If I don’t relate to a song, I won’t sing it. The thing is that if I wrote it, I’m always going to relate to it.
I feel like people can relate to me because we all go through wins and roadblocks and passion and pain, and it’s a vibe.
I think my comparison with Shane would be a loner. I always got the impression that she wasn’t scared to be alone. She enjoys it. I can relate to that.
People will come back and influence their communities to get excited about space. Space funding will increase because people will see the benefit it has to the way people relate to the world, the way people relate to problems, and the way people view themselves.
I am most attracted to characters and stories that I can relate to. The traditional formula of ‘larger than life’ I never found attractive.

The struggle of my life created empathy – I could relate to pain, being abandoned, having people not love me.
I don’t consider myself a competition to anyone. There is ample space for everyone here. When there are directors who create characters for me, why should I feel bothered or insecure? When it comes to updating myself, I work very hard to relate to the emotions of characters I play.
I just want to portray a very honest character that displays traits that people can truly relate to and can help them – the audience and myself because I learn from the characters as well – help them see themselves in a perspective that is outside of what they know already, and grow from that experience.
I feel like artists and their lyrics are something that people can relate to when it comes to love and break-ups. I really want people to know how I felt when I went through a break up, when I really felt alive, and everything in between.
I think anybody would be hard pressed not to relate to at least one of the characters, because there’s so many different multifaceted people populating this crazy world.
I love Future. ‘Turn on the Lights’ is the best song ever. You can cry to it. You can relate to it.

Anyone can relate to struggle, whether you’re European or Asian. Anyone can relate to having to get up and go to work and eat.

Audiences are more drawn in to what they can relate to, so it would be stupid not to have great Latino films for the Latino audience.
I was sick and tired of reading other people’s epigraphs. They all seemed to be in ancient Greek, middle French or, when they were translated, they never seemed to relate to the book at hand. Basically, they seemed to be there just to baffle you and to impress you with how smart the writer is.
I made a living for 10 years making very typical TV commercials. But I always wanted to reach beyond that and do stuff that people might relate to in the way they relate to my nonbranded content.
My mom is African-American, Native-American, Irish, and Creole, and my father is of Jewish, Russian, and Polish descent. It’s made me who I am. Because of my diverse background, I think I can relate to many different people, different stories, and different communities.
I saw a psychiatrist when I was younger because I had ADHD, and I had some problems with authority, so I guess I can kind of relate to that in a way. I know what it’s liked to be probed and to be asked questions where people are looking for a certain answer and are trying to pull something out of your answer.
I became Fantastic Negrito, and I felt like there was a rawness and an honesty in that music that I could relate to. That I was ready, finally, in my life to be that honest with myself.
I think ‘BB Ki Vines’ became popular because viewers could relate to it.
I’m interested in history, in trying to relate the past to the present and to understand how people thought about their problems and pleasures.
Basic emotions can be conveyed through anything. As long as you show people that you’re human, they’ll relate to it.

2014 was a terrible year for me. I got a lot of help from psychiatrists, doctors, and my family, but also from group therapy. I met people from so many different backgrounds, and we were all able to relate to each other. It felt like a real community, and I stole that concept for Gurls Talk.
A lot of people relate leadership to formalities. They believe that leadership is about being professional and strong and always right and being a booming voice. I just don’t buy that. I think that leadership is a soft skill; it’s a people skill.
I can relate to historical characters or imaginary ones. It doesn’t matter if a story takes place in the future or in the present, as long as the story is compelling.
I don’t think it’s a bad thing to share how you feel, especially if people can relate to it.
I play real men that I can identify with. I have a lot of guys tell me that they relate to me because I represent the real, everyday dudes.
For me, I feel like the most important part of music is the storytelling behind it, and that’s my favorite; that’s what makes my favorite artists my favorite artists, having the story that I relate to the most and that helps me the most.
I remember watching Barbra Streisand and seeing Jennifer Grey in ‘Dirty Dancing’ – these were people who acted like me and looked like me. Now it’s great that everyone on ‘Glee’ is so unique and people can relate to us and look up to us.
