There is so much going on in world, even just on the Internet. I think TV should push to put some of the positive things going on in shows, and also to discuss more of the negative things so more people can relate.
I don’t really like the idea of putting myself in any category now… I think that people are looking for music that’s real and honest and that they can relate to emotionally.
I think a lot of people relate to some of my characters’ inner struggles.
I grew up with ‘Cinderella.’ So that was my go-to Disney film, definitely. It was princess-related, and coming from a smaller area in Illinois and wanting to do something greater than myself in Broadway, that was a film that I could really relate to.
That’s definitely something I’ve experienced my whole life – people thinking one thing and then discovering that I’m not, hopefully. So I relate to having to fight that and claim my own identity, when people are trying to throw different ones at me.
Even in high school I was very interested in history – why people do the things they do. As a kid I spent a lot of time trying to relate the past to the present.

Kids love watching adults act like children. It’s that spirit they can relate to.

Even if you look at the ‘Paranormal Activity’ movies, at the end of the movie things get really crazy and nutty, but they all start in a very mundane situation that people can relate to, and that’s also to some degree what we tried to do in ‘Chernobyl Diaries.’
Let me speak for myself: I think I wanted to see people who looked like me on TV. I wanted to see people who had similar experiences as I had, growing up. There was nobody on television when I was a teenager who I could relate to.
I’m so fascinated by the human longing for meaning. The way we relate romantically to each other is so much to do with our longing for meaning as well.
It’s natural for any actor that segues into directing to be an actor’s director. You know how to relate to the actors.
When I’m doing the Justice League stuff, my point of view is always coming through Buddy. And he’s a dad, and there’s stuff about his life that I relate to with my life, and I can also take the abilities of animals, which a lot of people don’t know about me.
I think there just needs to be an emotional attachment to the surfer, however you get that, so that, when you watch the surfing, you can relate to that person, or you’re rooting for them, in a way.

Sometimes people won’t be able to relate to you if you look like you’re straight out of a full blown ‘Vogue’ magazine every time they see you.
I think what people like about my channel is that I am not perfect. I always point to my pimple, my bad hair day… people relate to that. They are watching somebody who is exactly like them and talking about things that they experience as well.
I talk about things that real street cats can relate to.
With movies, you are always in search is a good story, one that everyone will relate to and love. I love finding those stories and creating a visual world to tell the story.
I certainly wear my heart on my sleeve, and I think that comes out in the characters that I play. There’s a yearning, or something, that comes out of me that people relate to.
I couldn’t really relate much to my younger sister, because she was born in 1992, and I was born in 1986. And then my older sister, we just didn’t get on that much. Although we bonded over hating our stepdad.
This might sound masochistic or narcissistic, I don’t know, but when I’m not playing the game, the validations I feel about life are always through the hardships. I relate more to sadness, in a lot of ways, when I’m not playing.
I know what it’s like to have a broken heart. I know what it’s like to feel pain: When my songs don’t become hits, it breaks my heart. There are a million ways to break a heart. I can relate.
When I put my first project out ages ago, I didn’t want to show anyone my emotions. Now I think it’s better for people to understand how I am as a person and let them relate.
I think because I did a lot of modelling and appeared in lads mags a lot of women didn’t necessarily warm to me. But now I have been through childbirth, post-natal depression and struggled with my weight, women seem to relate to me a lot more.
The birth of the search engine, it’s nothing new: it’s essentially embedded in our literature; it’s how ideas relate, how the mind makes connections. I mean, connections are made online through links, and within an algorithm, they’re made through degrees of relevancy between different terms.
I’ve experienced a lot for someone my age that a lot of people will be able to relate to.
I’ve had trouble gaining access to certain people I’d really love to interview because they’re worried I’ll make fun of them. I’m a pretty private and self-conscious person, so I relate to that concern!
I’m always excited to create space for people to relate to one another.
I decided to host a couple of the ‘In The Life’ programs. And I did that really as a result of meeting a lot of young gay people in the Midwest who really had nothing to relate to. At least I felt this program is presenting them with some options.
I think people are drawn to ‘The Pioneer Woman,’ not because I am some fascinating person but because I present things that a lot of people can relate to.

You can’t relate to a superhero, to a superman, but you can identify with a real man who in times of crisis draws forth some extraordinary quality from within himself and triumphs but only after a struggle.

My first trip abroad was to do a TV version of ‘Les Miserables’ in France with Anthony Perkins. There I was at 12 acting with the guy from ‘Psycho.’ My parents were teachers, and it was hard for them to relate to that world.

I never understood the idea that you’re supposed to mellow as you get older. Slowing down isn’t something I relate to at all. The goal is to continue in good and bad, all of it.
Without computers, in the 17th century, we could classify the entire animal kingdom… there was this idea of the speciation, right? And now, all a search engine is is essentially the mathematical speciation of ideas – and these things really derive from the way that language is used and the way words relate.
I understand people, and I think that my life and my history and what I represent can relate to a lot of the women, the independents, the moderate voters.
I just always want to play people. I don’t want it to be necessarily that you relate to the character as female or male, but that you relate to them as a person. That’s the driving force.
People relate to things that feel real to them. All the good, happy, over-sexed and moneyed endings on TV are not the way most of us feel in our lives. The success of ‘E.R.,’ I think, is not relying on overly sentimental stories that are solved where people’s lives wrap up nicely with happy endings.
When I used to play nightclubs, you had to play Top 40 or favorite oldies that maybe people could relate to.
