Glamour invites us to live in a different world.

Jay Ellis
When I read a script I either immediately identify with

In my movies, I portray this ‘Everyman’ persona, someone everybody can empathize with. People can identify with a guy like me.

James E. Faust
I no longer identify myself as Japanese or American but a ‘citizen of the universe.’
Ruth Asawa
You ask people what their ethnicity is, and a lot of Scots-Irish people either don’t know or if they know it they just don’t acknowledge it. It’s not something they really identify with. They’re just plain old Americans, plain vanilla. I don’t think they are a self-conscious voting bloc.

War is hugely profitable. It creates so much money because it’s so easy to spend money very fast. There are huge fortunes to be made. So there is always an encouragement to promote war and keep it going, to make sure that we identify people who are ‘others’ whom we can legitimately make war upon.

Olga Tokarczuk
I have the mindset of a mid-level guy or a minimum guy. My path here wasn’t expected: my path wasn’t that I was going to the NBA and making $16 million a year.

Once you identify positional needs, then I think, then, what you do is, you be very selective on how you go about acquiring those players. You have to look at the resources available on how to acquire those players, and then, if you can, go acquire those assets that can best help this team get over the hump.
John Dorsey
It’s very difficult to change your approach to how you see yourself when you suddenly get divorced. And you have to think again, over the next few years, how you’re going to earn your income, how you’re going to run your life. You have to identify as a single mother rather than as part of a family.

We identify New York with the great bridges and tunnels and roadways and subway system and so forth.
Paul Goldberger
We have various and real issues in our country, but the only way to address them is to identify them specifically and seek for solutions.
Will Cain
I’m so disturbed when my women students behave as though they can only read women, or black students behave as though they can only read blacks, or white students behave as though they can only identify with a white writer.
bell hooks
Measurement and categorization are, of course, fundamental to any scientific endeavor, but the implications of being able to identify psychopaths are as much practical as academic. To put it simply, if we can’t spot them, we are doomed to be their victims, both as individuals and as a society.
Robert D. Hare
No I.D. helped me to just identify certain energies that I might not have really represented yet in the music that he picked up on just in my personality, or in the person he perceived me to be.
Vic Mensa
I am a closet birdwatcher. I can identify Southern African species, but it irks me I can barely tell a jay from a blackbird in the U.K.
Wilbur Smith
I identify… with the ideas that Malcolm X stood for.
Winnie Madikizela-Mandela
I could never identify with that word, ‘weak.’
Rihanna
I was just a small boy from Mississippi, and now little kids are going to identify with me through this game.
Jerry Rice
I don’t have time to worry about who I admire or who I identify with.
Pat Nixon
I think that we are already making steps toward mapping out the brain so we can identify the chemical patterns that create and store memory.
J. Michael Straczynski
Rather than make excuses for their failures, resilient people learn from each mistake. They identify skills, ideas, and life lessons that can be gained from each failed opportunity.
Amy Morin
This idea of collaborating with designers – that’s something I can identify with.
Rei Kawakubo
It’s weird to try and identify a nationality for a film.
Yorgos Lanthimos
Identify your niche and dominate it. And when I say dom

Identify your niche and dominate it. And when I say dominate, I just mean work harder than anyone else could possibly work at it.
Nate Parker
The road hasn’t always been paved for me. People identify with that. Everybody passes through hard times, and I think that’s part of my appeal – that I have, too.
Gerry Cooney
I think it’s… I don’t want to become a social crusader on this issue, but I think sports, male sports, has traditionally not been an inviting environment for gay men to identify themselves. But eventually… we will get to a place where it is not an issue in sports.
David Stern
I play in a league that’s 70 percent black and my peers, guys I come to work with, guys I respect who are very socially aware and are intellectual guys, if they identify something that they think is worth putting their reputations on the line, creating controversy, I’m going to listen to those guys.
Chris Long
My poems are almost all written as Diane. I don’t have any problems with that, and if other women choose to identify with this, I think that’s terrific.
Diane Wakoski
Don’t identify yourself with labels and brands and have to buy every cute thing you see. Invest in the things that will grow in equity.
Susan L. Taylor
There will always be economic pressure to make hits, identify hits, and then exploit hits. And you’re going to exploit them with as many episodes as you probably can.
Shawn Ryan
We all have to consciously make efforts to identify our roots and nurture them.
Vetrimaaran
Yet as a director, I don’t feel you have to identify with your characters as a requirement to make a movie.
David Fincher
As a rule, said Holmes, the more bizarre a thing is the less mysterious it proves to be. It is your commonplace, featureless crimes which are really puzzling, just as a commonplace face is the most difficult to identify.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Through a voluntary national certification program, SAFLA will create uniform rules and definitions for foods carrying a GMO-free label, allowing consumers to understand and identify those products that fit their food preferences.
Mike Pompeo
One can, in principle, outline sort of a set of neural circuits that are critically involved and even identify disorders that affect different components of that neural circuit and see what happens if you knock out, for example, inability to recognize faces, how it affects your response to portraiture.
Eric Kandel
It was just an honor for me to be doing the role of Miguel because I identify with him. I grew up watching Disney movies, and ‘Coco’ shows a wonderful tradition, culture, and celebration that not many movies have shown.
Anthony Gonzalez
Years ago, NPR tried to stop me from going on “The Factor.” When I refused, they insisted that I not identify myself as an NPR journalist. I asked them if they thought people did not know where I appeared on the air as a daily talk show host, national correspondent and news analyst. They refused to budge.
Juan Williams
It’s normal for human beings to identify with their own separate self. The problem is that we get caught in that notion of ourself as a separate individual and caught in that individual self’s agenda.
Thich Nhat Hanh
We identify in our experience a differentiation between what we do and what happens to us.
Alan Watts
Because Jews were kicked out of every country in Europe at one time or another, and plenty of other places as well, there isn’t an ability to identify with a national heritage – you’ll never hear a Jew say ‘I’m German’ or ‘I’m Polish,’ without saying something about being Jewish as well, and for good reason.
Adam Mansbach
I’m sure there are many more people who can identify with failure and hardship in life than with the success of an Alexander Hamilton or a John D. Rockefeller.
Ron Chernow
Hemingway seems to be in a funny position. People nowadays can’t identify with him closely as a member of their own generation, and he isn’t yet historical.
Leslie Fiedler
It’s hard not to identify with some of what Hillary Clinton is up against.
Sandra E. Peterson
Safe Schools lets young people who identify as gay know that they have every right to be accepted and respected for who they are. We should never underestimate how important this message is – or the consequences of trying to shout it down.
Bill Shorten
I can remember – I don’t want to identify the individual – but a very prominent Democrat, who compared looking at Carter and then Reagan, and then Bush, and observed that many of the people around Carter were totally disloyal to him.
Bobby Ray Inman
I guess I’m the guy from the Beastie Boys. I’m one of the guys from the Beastie Boys. I guess that’s what I’ll always identify myself as.
Ad-Rock
Although I was born in Idaho and now live in New York, I definitely identify with the European aesthetic. Paris is my mecca; it’s where I discovered my flair for fashion. But I pay rent and work in New York, so that is my home – I love the culture clash of the city.
Dree Hemingway
The kids from the streets don’t want preaching or messages. They want what they can identify with. They want to hear about the reality of their situation, not fairy tales. They don’t care if it’s ugly; they just want reality.
Eazy-E
If you identify yourself as a great football player, anytime anyone challenges that, you’re going to have some kind of problem.
Ricky Williams
I don’t judge people by their sexual orientation or the color of their skin, so I find it really hard to identify someone by saying that they’re a gay person or a black person or a Jewish person.
Diana Ross
You know, you can’t give this unattainable superhero and expect people to identify with them. It’s a cool story to read, but I never identified with Wonder Woman, until I read the story like, where she goes blind for a year and ends up in the underworld.
Lights
It’s much easier to identify and fix problems in language and timing when you hear the words being read.
Jesse Kellerman
I do struggle to identify an occasion when I was held back because I’m a woman… You don’t think about it at the time, but looking back at it, of course.
Nicola Sturgeon
Whatever the price, identify it now. What will you have to go through to get where you want to be? There is a price you can pay to be free of the situation once and for all. It may be a fantastic price or a tiny one – but there is a price.
Harry Browne
There are so many factors that go into how you feel, as

There are so many factors that go into how you feel, as a performer, on any given movie, that it’s really hard to identify which things are the things that help you be good, and which are the things that hinder you.
Alessandro Nivola
In Virginia, we will continue to lift up all who identify as women as we strive for a more equitable future.
Ralph Northam
If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be ‘meetings.’
Dave Barry
To identify the enemy is to free the mind.
Mari Evans
I just can identify with that mentality of feeling that you should be the best, putting in the work, and then kind of being that backup or being that second guy and being like, nah, this isn’t good enough for me, I’m going to be the best.
Spencer Dinwiddie
I identify with the 99 per cent.
Peter M. Brant
In ‘The Girl Who Chased Away Sorrow,’ part of the ‘Dear America’ series, I took my childhood bravery and stubbornness and put that at the core of the Navajo girl, Sarah Nita. It helped me to identify with her survival and to write about her courageous journey and that of her people.
Ann Turner
There’s a difference between racism and people making a joke about something. There is true racism going on, and people should be able to identify what that is, comparatively.
Chelsea Handler
The accent in England can change literally from street to street, and people have this sort of feudal tribalism whereby you can identify somebody’s provenance by their voice.
Rupert Friend
In the U.S. the powerful critics of austerity such as Paul Krugman and Robert Reich rightly identify the decline of ‘labor’ as a problem, and renewing trade unionism part of the solution. Our opportunity is to make the same case in the UK.
Frances O’Grady
The story of ‘Rudy’ has almost transcended me. I’m the representation, but there are so many people out there that identify with it.
Rudy Ruettiger
All of us, regardless of how we identify, need a community in which to grow our faith. We require the tangle of other souls to enlarge our hearts, to perfect our relationships with one another and to help us understand more deeply our better Selves (big ‘S’).
James Lecesne
I identify with the regular person, because that is who I am.
Kathy Griffin
People identify with me – everyone does – African American women, Caucasian women, they all identify with me because I’m ethnic.
Janice Dickinson
Practically, systemic thinking can be used to identify problems, analyze their boundaries, design strategies and policy interventions, forecast and measure their expected impacts, implement them, and monitor and evaluate their successes and failures.
Paul Polman
It’s not like I’m some kind of veteran and there is this huge age gap. I identify with them more off the field. I need to set an example, which is great, and I look forward to doing just that.
Barry Zito
We don’t know how to identify intelligence over interstellar distances, so what we do instead is use technology for a proxy.
Jill Tarter
I think it’s necessary to identify with anything – with any character you play, there’s got to be something in common, so you can link up to that person, even if it’s like one tiny thing. But it’s equally fun to play somebody completely different, and trying to find what that thing is to make it.
Lizzy Caplan
The one thing I couldn’t identify with was the blue cowboy outfit he put on.
Dwayne Johnson
The difference between H7N9 and H5N1, is that H5N1 kills chickens very rapidly, so it is easy to identify where the infected flocks of chickens are. H7N9 doesn’t make the chicken sick, so it has been difficult to pinpoint where the infected chickens are.
Anthony Fauci
I identify myself as a hustler since I was a young kid.
Nipsey Hussle
Our struggle is to identify the sources of revenue and the means to obtain the funds. Without funds, all the planning and research studies can’t help us.
John Breaux
When you think about how many wars are created through the word religion it’s hard to identify with it, or even accept it.
Arlene Phillips
As soon as I gave birth, it was as if you understand them. They become people, not kids. You start to identify with them. You see yourself in them.
Julie Walters
As children, we all hold on to the myth of omnipotence. Comics are successful because kids identify with superheroes. They’ll read a book or watch a TV programme and say, ‘I’m that guy.’ And that guy is always the one in control.
Eddie Marsan
Of course, women are free to start any kind of company they want. But women sometimes identify different problems than men do and start different sorts of companies as a result.
Andrew Yang
I’ll instinctively know that I identify with a character.
David Duchovny
I get called lots of things – a biochemist, a molecular biologist, a chemical engineer – and I guess I am all of those. I identify most as human!
Frances Arnold
I identify with someone wanting something to work out, but not being able to get through the rocks to the river.
Emile Hirsch
I used to have the very standard worldview. I can easily identify with people who see computers getting faster and smarter, and technology getting more and more beneficial, without seeing the other side.
Jaan Tallinn
If you experience that feeling of being in a rut in your life, then something’s not right. A lot of people who feel that way don’t take the time to say, ‘O.K., well, what am I doing? Is that what I want to be doing? What is it making me feel this way?’ You have to identify what specifically is making you feel stuck.
Joy Mangano
Instinct is still important, but now I can easily ident

Instinct is still important, but now I can easily identify problems like cliches and mixed metaphors, and I have a broader palette to work off of.
Amanda Shires
A good fragrance should have a certain personality that makes people identify the scent with you.
Shakira
I think the key is to give the reader characters they not only care about, but identify with, and to never take away all hope.
Lynn Flewelling
SleepScore Max empowers me to identify my own sleep issues and gives me advice for better sleep to maximize my performance every day. It’s critical to measure and quantify improvements while training.
Gunnar Peterson
It is because I recognize the brutality with which my own multi-branched ancestors have been treated that I can identify the despicable, lawless, cruel, and sadistic behavior that has characterized Israel’s attempts to erase a people, the Palestinians, from their own land.
Alice Walker
Teachers can use technology-based assessments to inform their instruction. These assessments can quickly produce data and surface patterns that help teachers identify where students are faltering and intervene with targeted coaching immediately, before the student falls too far behind.
Sal Khan
I was surprised that when you get into electoral politics how scientific the analysis was in the electorate. You can identify on a state-by-state or district-by-district basis fundamental building blocks that behave in different ways. I was impressed in general with the sophistication of polling.
Bill Foster
In fashion, there are so many gangs, if you identify too much with one, you get caught – I would lose my freedom.
Daphne Guinness
I’ve always wondered what it would be like if the Messiah, or Christ Returned, were actually alive and living in our society; who would that person be, how we would identify them, how would they live and what would they believe in, how would society react to them? I decided to try and tell my idea of that story.
James Frey
I identify as a woman first, but I am also proudly trans.
Andreja Pejic
The best approach to risk is to identify and manage it.
Mark Walport
I suppose my job is to describe spaces that are honest to me. And the goal, I suppose, is that the listener can hear themselves in some way in that song and also, in some way, hear me. And so if the listener is able to identify with my honesty then I’m being the most helpful I can possibly be.
Jacob Collier
I identify more as a musician than as a singer, because I play piano and percussion, and I engineer and produce everything that I do.
Janina Gavankar
Anyone can identify with those moments in life where circumstances or people inform us that we’ve strayed from the path of our better nature and intentions. We know what that’s like, and we resist it – so as not to feel like we’re bad people.
Viggo Mortensen
The manner in which life constructs itself must be dealing with some other principle which we’ve failed to identify.
Simon Conway Morris
Working with some outside consultants or people that really can bring you an external perspective or a benchmarking to identify opportunities is a really good way to work.
Denise Morrison
I get a lot of mail from men who really identify with Stuart, you know, Sparrow’s boyfriend. I love that. Even though I used to say I wanted men to read the strip even though there weren’t any men in it, so they’d be forced to identify with the women.
Alison Bechdel
I personally don’t identify with the character of a man who suffers inferiority complex due to a difference in height with his wife. I am a very confident person in real life and have no such hang-ups.
Rajpal Yadav
I played Duryodhan, the young prince, 28 years ago. People still identify me as Duryodhan. But at 55, I cannot hope to play a 25-year-old.
Puneet Issar
I think when I show my vulnerability, people relate with that because they know deep down inside that they have vulnerable moments, and they can really connect and identify with me on those things.
Andy Mineo
If you’re going to do a show about somebody who dumped you, it’s much richer if you have three characters dealing with different aspects of that theme. There is more space for people to identify with it.
Robert Lepage
We are at war – undeclared and of such a subtle nature that few have noticed – but war nevertheless. It is a cyberwar on many fronts, in which it is difficult to identify who is friend and who is foe. I will predict now, as unintelligible as it may seem, that Anonymous will turn out to be more friend than foe.
John McAfee
I don’t really identify myself as white or African-American. I’m just me. I’m Madison.
Madison Keys
The real fans do not just admire the star of their choice, they identify with him or her, while the star, unlike Joan Crawford, comes to need the fans’ love, admiration, and constant interest.
Michael Korda
I wanted to identify that the black experience is American experience.
Wadada Leo Smith
It’s really a misconception to identify the writer with the main character, given that the author creates all the characters in the book. In certain ways, I’m every character.
Rachel Kushner
For many older Americans who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, a lifetime of discrimination has undermined their right to a retirement with dignity.
Ted Deutch
I identify as a gay man all the time, but I also like to identify as queer.
Olly Alexander
I came out with sounds that didn’t sound like the usual hip-hop beat. I took that chance because no one would identify with me if I sound like somebody who’s already out.
DJ Premier
As a child and young adult, I delighted in being able to identify almost any wild plant or animal.
George Monbiot
The lack of diversity, specifically in genre films and the superheroes our kids grow up watching and emulating, they can’t really identify with. When you see the same thing, over and over again, and it seems not to speak of you and your heritage and your culture, it leaves you out of this world a little bit.
Djimon Hounsou
After the Meiji restoration in 1868, Japan adopted an e

After the Meiji restoration in 1868, Japan adopted an expansionist and colonial attitude towards its neighbours. It sought to identify itself with the West and looked down upon the Asian continent as backward and inferior. For most of the next 70 years, Japan was at war, mainly with its neighbours.
Martin Jacques
Most people don’t know this, but I never wanted Man Repeller to be about me. It was titled that to identify a genre of women.
Leandra Medine
The Louvre is a morgue; you go there to identify your friends.
Jean Cocteau
Preparation is definitely important, but it depends on the kinds of roles I do. Like, I completely identify with my character in ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.’ I had to be myself and I didn’t have to actually prepare for it.
Deepika Padukone
The very controversial National Identification Act of 1991, requiring all United States citizens to carry identification, has greatly enhanced the ability of law enforcement officers to identify criminals and terrorists.
Richard Lamm
We necessarily operate in an environment in which there’s a great deal of uncertainty. In such an environment, it makes sense to use a risk-management approach to identify and avoid the big mistakes. That’s one reason I favor a cautious approach.
Janet Yellen
Good tests can help teachers determine how their students are performing and identify the areas in which their students need assistance. Like an X-ray, however, tests can diagnose, but they cannot cure.
Randi Weingarten
Senseless violence is, almost by definition, hard to understand. Not that I can understand terrorists who kill from hate, but at least we can identify a reason – a terrifying one, to be sure, grounded in a violent belief system – for what they do. Two gangs go to war. Extremists kill in the name of belief.
Susan Estrich
I think what’s really important from a player is to understand what you did well in that match and see maybe if there’s a few areas that you could have done a little bit better, identify them, try to implement it, and keep getting better as the tournament goes on.
Kevin Anderson
I definitely identify as a nerd – love being in a classroom.
Skyler Samuels
In our midst, there are nations that still speak the language of terrorism, that nurture it, peddle it, and export it. To shelter terrorists has become their calling card. We must identify these nations and hold them to account.
Sushma Swaraj
I pointed out that the Atlanta Olympic bomber – as well as Timothy McVeigh and the people who protest against gay rights at military funerals – are Christians but we journalists don’t identify them by their religion.
Juan Williams
In my own writing, I tend to be very honest, and my goal is to identify something people think but are afraid to say. That’s not the general cultural expectation of women.
Meghan Daum
I will continue to be a voice for Nevadans in the Senate, opposing Yucca Mountain and working to identify viable alternatives for long-term repositories in areas that are proven safe and whose communities consent to that storage.
Jacky Rosen
I really think that studying theater early on really helped me to be able to identify how to get into a character, because it’s such a mysterious thing. Learning objective acting in the beginning of my career was the best thing I could have ever done.
Sufe Bradshaw
Envision what the end result is supposed to be… what do you want to be when you grow up? Where do you see yourself? Once we identify what the painting on the wall is, it is so much easier to bring in the right colors, canvas and brushes to paint that picture.
Fat Joe
I identify as queer. I just don’t know what any of these labels mean.
Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
You need to pick your spots and bet big when you identify them. That’s basically my ‘Jeopardy!’ strategy in a nutshell.
James Holzhauer
The bottom line is how do we best provide for the security of the traveling public in light of a determined enemy who is adept at constructing well-designed, well-concealed devices which would not show up in a walk-through metal detector? We’re trying to employ the best technology to identify any possible threat.
John Pistole
It’s not always easy to identify your own voice. It comes with time.
Dick Cavett
My whole comic persona is that of a guy who explores the id: I romanticize gluttony, I romanticize laziness, and people identify with that.
Jim Gaffigan
People relate to my characters and see me in a different way. They identify with me and remember the nuances of my characters.
Kartik Aaryan
I’ve always been a jazz fan, but I don’t write much about jazz, because I don’t have the chops. But it’s really, really hard to write about improvised instrumental music when you don’t have a good knowledge of harmony and can’t identify rhythm signatures very easily either.
Robert Christgau
It is critical to create opportunities to identify talented women in business, then support them to develop their confidence to aim for the boardroom.
Karren Brady
The failure to readily identify the battle between good and evil is a nagging, ongoing, dangerous pattern that shows no sign of easing up any time soon.
Mike Gallagher
Experts are able to identify patterns related to a specific problem relevant to their area of knowledge. But because nonexperts lack that base of knowledge, they are forced to rely more on their brain’s ability for abstraction rather than specificity.
Naveen Jain
I super strongly identify with marginalized communities. I’m not at all religious, but I feel super, super Jewish. I can’t even describe the feeling, but it actually feels really similar to being gay, the kind of kinship that you feel with the LGBTQ people. That same sense of community is there with Judaism.
Troye Sivan
We tend to think of racism as this interpersonal verbal or physical abuse, when in truth, that is only one way that racism manifests itself. The reality of contemporary racism is that it while it is ubiquitous, it is often invisible, subsequently making it more difficult to name and identify.
Clint Smith
I like being able to have things that identify you in a brand without blatantly showing a logo.
Shaun White
I like myself. I think I’m cool. But I think when you’re in a band you take on a role within the band, and I think people over the course of years can identify those roles as almost being bigger than just the individual. I don’t know. It’s kind of hard to talk about.
Stone Gossard
Yes, women should be free to cover their faces when walking down the street. But in our schools, hospitals, airports, banks and civil institutions, it is not unreasonable – nor contrary to the teachings of Islam – to expect women to show the one thing that allows the rest of us to identify them… namely, their face.
Maajid Nawaz
You can't just abandon accountability measures in schoo

You can’t just abandon accountability measures in schools… Educators want that because otherwise they can’t identify achievement-gap issues for students.
Michelle Lujan Grisham
I had thought for years, probably 30 or 40 years, that it would be a lot of fun to try my hand at a classic English mystery novel… I love that form very much because the reader is so familiar with all of the types of characters that are in there that they already identify with the book.
Alan Bradley
Repetition is based on body rhythms, so we identify with the heartbeat, or with walking, or with breathing.
Karlheinz Stockhausen
Americans admire a people who can scratch a desert and produce a garden. The Israelis have shown qualities that Americans identify with: guts, patriotism, idealism, a passion for freedom. I have seen it. I know. I believe that.
Richard M. Nixon
I look at every business and ask, How long can this last? How can I identify the status quo and change it?
Sheldon Adelson
‘Personalization’ is a popular word in retail, and people often misuse it to describe simple marketing tactics, like segmenting emails or using big data to identify the likely gender of a visitor to their websites.
Katrina Lake
Plus-size is a term that’s never been used in hate; no one has ever used it in a negative way. The industry has always used it to help us identify where to shop.
Tess Holliday
I train my chefs completely different to anyone else. My young girls and guys, when they come to the kitchen, the first thing they get is a blindfold. They get blindfolded and they get sat down at the chef’s table… Unless they can identify what they’re tasting, they don’t get to cook it.
Gordon Ramsay
‘Empire’ deals with the black experience, the human experience, sibling rivalry, what it feels like to be ignored or doted upon by a parent, illness, death. There are so many things that I think the audience can identify with.
Grace Gealey
You see people you identify with, and you take pieces of people you like and shape who you are. Like, I sound just like my dad. But that’s literally my vocal chords. I can’t sound like anything else… I sound like him, but I act like myself.
Damon Wayans, Jr.
You know that you’ve healed an issue when you can talk about it and you’re not weeping, when you can speak to it and identify the lesson. You know that you’ve healed an issue when, having gone through that, has a benefit that you live today.
Iyanla Vanzant
At KaBOOM! we are crowd-sourcing a nationwide Map of Play that uses GIS data and user rankings to identify where the engaging playgrounds are located, but more importantly, where they are not.
Darell Hammond
I identified with white culture, and I wanted to fit in. I didn’t identify with black culture. Like, I didn’t like Tyler Perry movies, and I wasn’t into hip-hop music. I liked Neil Young.
Zoe Kravitz
I decided that if my work contained what I could identify as a likeness to other work, I would remove it.’
Jasper Johns
It’s much easier for people to compare wages or identify bad employers or discuss bad labor practices in the Internet economy than it was in, say, a factory environment, where that stuff wasn’t usually published or available.
Leila Janah
In Silicon Valley, there are a lot of startups using computer vision for agriculture or shopping – there are a lot for clothes shopping. At Baidu, for example, if you find a picture of a movie star, we actually use facial recognition to identify that movie star and then tell you things like their age and hobbies.
Andrew Ng
I like to write songs that people can identify with and sing along to.
Jay Sean
As long as there’s a strong theme that I can identify with, that’s what makes me interested in writing.
Bobcat Goldthwait
If a brand genuinely wants to make a social contribution, it should start with who they are, not what they do. For only when a brand has defined itself and its core values can it identify causes or social responsibility initiatives that are in alignment with its authentic brand story.
Simon Mainwaring
Opponents of civil liberties contend the NSA data collection has made our country more safe, but even the most vocal defenders of the program have failed to identify a single thwarted plot.
Rand Paul
I gave up my children to an American couple and went to Vietnam on an army assignment where I helped soldiers identify and get rid of hidden mines.
Bob Christo
We never expected the show to be this great. We think it is successful because kids can identify.
Thuy Trang
I identify in some measure with each of my characters.
Amitava Kumar
You can’t identify 100% with your character.
Elodie Yung
When you’ve displayed a weakness, you’ve displayed something a person can grab a hold of and attack you there. If you’re not ashamed of it, who can make you feel bad about it? Nobody. If you make a mistake, at least you get to see them, identify them, acknowledge them and hopefully remedy them.
Paolo Nutini
An almost indispensable skill for any creative person is the ability to pose the right questions. Creative people identify promising, exciting, and, most important, accessible routes to progress – and eventually formulate the questions correctly.
Lisa Randall
Just strengthening that theme that America is a place of opportunity and hoping to inspire people to fulfill those opportunities, and to want more, and to want better, and to see the places we can go. So many people identify with me because of the place that I come from.
Jay-Z
There is no Cura Gay, there’s just gay. Or not. Or however you identify, and nobody should have say over something so personal and inherent.
Tommy Dorfman
Revenge is a way of life and definitely some thing that we identify with. We all feel cheated in some way about some thing and how nice it would be to do something about it. I mean ultimately it’s not the most Christian of sentiments.
Radha Mitchell
As a Brooklynite, this borough holds a special place in my heart, and I’m excited to represent BSE Global and identify opportunities that elevate our community to new heights.
Angela Yee
I’m not a comic. There’s twenty five percent of me that doesn’t trust people who identify as comics.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I am one of 40 grandchildren. What bothers me about the

I am one of 40 grandchildren. What bothers me about the whole trust-fund thing is that it sort of presumes that everything is handed to you. And if there is one thing about my family that I do identify with, it is that everyone is extremely hardworking.
Rooney Mara
For me, music doesn’t have a color. ‘Teen Spirit’ is a fire song made by a white guy that me as a black person loves and can identify with.
Goldlink
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.
Timothy Dalton
The film ‘The Queen’ came about with a producer saying to me that he wanted me to write about the circumstances behind Diana’s death. I think he was hoping that I would come up with some journalistic scoop that would identify an MI5 covert plot.
Peter Morgan
Nobody knows what self-radicalized means, and that’s one of the weird things about the way that we talk about terrorism. We talk about radicalization as though it were a thing, as though you could sort of track it and identify it, and that’s not the case.
Masha Gessen
I identify as black.
Rachel Dolezal
We’ve all heard of the surveys revealing that teenagers think cows lay eggs, and others where children can identify more brand logos than trees, by a staggering margin. My view is that children will form a significant part of the green fightback. They instinctively understand the value of the environment.
Zac Goldsmith
For some people, pronouns are a very important part of how they identify. I completely understand that. For me, I have more of a looser interpretation.
Jack Monroe
People are always going to identify with what it’s like living in society and have people judge you in certain ways, and how you can be strong enough to be your own person and all those good things.
Alessandro Nivola
Of course it is a very simple matter to identify genes which might modify intelligence or memory and start thinking about whether you want to enhance a human, and the next generation is going to have to deal with that issue. Should we be trying to enhance humans rather than trying to educate them and so on?
Robert Winston
I think each veteran’s soul has something that it needs to say. I know from my own personal traumas, it’s very hard to know what that is. But when I’m watching someone else struggle, it’s not as confusing for me, ’cause it’s not my struggle, so I can help identify that.
Mary Gauthier
I deeply respect literature and expect to gain insight from a book and to identify emotionally with its characters. I therefore avoid reading suspense novels or science fiction.
A. B. Yehoshua
To prepare adequately for the challenge of global warming, we must acknowledge both the good and the bad that it will bring. If our starting point is to prove that Armageddon is on its way, we will not consider all of the evidence, and will not identify the smartest policy choices.
Bjorn Lomborg
I don’t have an extensive background in theory, but the amount of it that I’ve learned, I’ve applied, so I have a vocabulary of melodic and rhythmic relationships. And that’s all theory is – it’s symbols to help you identify those relationships.
John Frusciante
Ironically, heavier comedians, actors, and the characters they play are actually more sympathetic, and easier for audiences to identify with, than the svelte.
Lionel Shriver
Because I’m short and slim, I can identify with somebody who’s an unlikely fit for something and desperately wants to be part of it.
Daniel Radcliffe
Sometimes I feel like both; sometimes I feel like neither. Sometimes I feel like something else completely. Gender-wise, I identify as a non-binary person, which means not male, not female.
Liv Bruce
We’re thinking of creating a board of experts across the sectors of industry, to identify successful programs and to make recommendations about programs that are working and aren’t working.
Cory Gardner
I identify as a feminist but subscribe to the pretty basic definition of a feminist as ‘someone who seeks equality between the sexes.’
Lauren Mayberry
The kind of roles which you get, people identify with your roles, and it then leads to the kind of brands you get.
Kangana Ran
aut
Business development is a part of M&A – we identify signals in the market, whether its trends or disruptive technology, and bring them back and address the opportunities. I have three levers I can pull – partnerships, acquisitions, or investments.
Peggy Johnson
In 1978, when I thought of creating a flag for the gay movement, there was no other international symbol for us than the pink triangle, which the Nazis used to identify homosexuals in concentration camps. Even though the pink triangle was and still is a powerful symbol, it was very much forced upon us.
Gilbert Baker
It’s important to celebrate how far we have come while also fighting for justice for those who are still not safe as a result of how they identify.
Tommy Dorfman
The reason I am so negative about the Federal Reserve’s policies is that they only target core inflation and argue that they can’t identify bubbles, but when each bubble bursts, they flood the system with liquidity that brings about unintended consequences.
Marc Faber
The country has to identify and promote raw talent. I have full faith that India will win Olympic gold in athletics sooner than later.
P. T. Usha
The songs that are on my playlist find themselves there because I can identify with the lyrics, or they have some magical transformative power in the beat.
Hilary Knight
Far too many LGBTQ individuals are the victims of violence and hatred, and we must all fight together to ensure that no one is erased or marginalized because of how they identify or who they love.
London Breed
Despite all of our games, all of our success together – ‘Elder Scrolls,’ when we started, it was a very generic fantasy. It had its parts. We pushed it to have more of its own unique identify. We’re proud of the work everyone did there.
Todd Howard
I saw an opportunity to use a restaurant to identify a lot of my issues and concerns with being an immigrant in America, and Asian in America, and a young person in America.
Eddie Huang
My pronouns are she, her, and hers. I identify as female, specifically as a transgender female. And my name is Josie Totah.
Josie Totah
I think that’s what poetry does. It allows people to come together and identify with a common thing that is outside of themselves, but which they identify with from the interior.
Diane Wakoski
I believe in the power of poetry, which gives me reason

I believe in the power of poetry, which gives me reasons to look ahead and identify a glint of light.
Mahmoud Darwish
There are no categories in contemporary art. There are no rules. Artists are given the freedom to make and create whatever they please and call it whatever they please. I identify with that system, or lack of system, much more than I do the landscape of contemporary publishing.
James Frey
I, myself, identify myself as a heathen.
David Alan Grier
When we ask bureaucrats to identify who is responsible for fixing anything, they reassure us that there are ‘procedures in place.’
Michel Faber
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.
Liana Liberato
History’s most treasured musicians were believed in and cultivated to reach their potential. Today, it would be difficult for those musicians to get deals. We have the insight and the tools to identify and bring to fruition the dormant talent that our artists possess.
Steve Vai
I obviously identify with the anti-authority figure. I’ve pretty much always had problems with authority, ever since I was a kid.
Denis Leary
I’ve been blessed with some lovely scripts and a character that people could truly identify with. It’s one of those surprises in life that makes you think, ‘God was smiling on me that particular day.
Dwight Schultz
We all have insecurities. It takes maintenance and constant practice to first identify what they are so we can have an understanding of how we tick and, second, to put forth the action to deal with them.
Tara Stiles
While I resonate deeply with my maternal cultural heritage, I identify as American.
Lela Loren
I’ve realized that my… let me call it ‘destiny’ or some force that has pushed me to identify looking for your comfort zone as a kind of limitation. And everybody has a tendency to fall into the comfort zone. I did that in the early stage of my career.
Irrfan Khan
People identify with being heartbroken. We’ve all been heartbroken, haven’t we? I’ve been dumped, and it feels horrible.
Rob James-Collier
The biggest danger for any organism is to not identify that it’s being threatened. I want to hope that people realize that the source of danger and risk in the Middle East is not the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but the deep radical Islamic vision of forming a global caliphate.
Naftali Bennett
Growing up, the way that I looked was very important to me. I was always trying to impress people, and when I grew my beard there was a certain freedom, a separation, getting past this the way I looked, identify myself as a spiritual seeker.
Matisyahu
If people can identify with me in a good way and get some inspiration out of what I’ve done, that’s good. Then football’s all worthwhile.
George Blanda
Start-ups make so many mistakes that the challenge to identify the root cause of a failure is tough. But believing in your own plan is probably the worst.
Eric Ries
I think I’d like to do a big movie with a strong female lead, whether or not she would be a superhero. I’m more interested in characters like Scarlett Johansson in ‘Lucy.’ I’m less interested in people with superpowers because I can’t identify with them.
Neil Marshall
There should be characters and situations that we cannot identify with, that retain either too much horror or too much wonder to allow for simple identification. That feels to me like an accurate depiction of what it is like to be in the world, rather than a neutered register of continual empathy.
Katie Kitamura
In the days of segregation, when blacks were limited to certain neighborhoods, you could look around the black community and identify who the leaders were.
Roger Wilkins
A fundamental premise in cancer therapy is trying to identify how the metabolism of cancer cells differs from normal tissue. When differences are identified, it often paves the way for treatments that will disrupt the cancer’s metabolism while sparing normal tissue.
David Perlmutter
I don’t identify with her, but I highly admire Eleanor Roosevelt.
Shonda Rhimes
A merchant is someone who figures out how to select, how to smell, how to identify, how to feel, how to time, how to buy, how to sell, and how to hopefully have two plus two equal six.
Mickey Drexler
People forget who they are; they always remain with an identity which is not the real self. It is just a projected self which does not exist, but they identify with this projected self appearance.
Lobsang Tenzin
First of all, I always see the sun! The way I want to identify myself and others is with halos here and there halos, movements of color. And that, I believe, is rhythm.
Robert Delaunay
America is a country that prides itself on being able to identify a ‘straight shooter’ or ‘the genuine article’ when it comes to our leaders. As a nation, we can ‘feel it in our gut’ when someone is giving us a bum steer.
Adam McKay
I identify with anyone who logged online in elementary school and never logged off.
Hari Nef
We all have such common ways to identify with each other, and I think when you approach music in that organic way, it’s almost indescribable how it connects human to human and heart to heart.
Debby Boone
When you look at all this massive data that comes in from our senses, and it all has to come in through this central point, it’s really interesting that we can identify the filter that our mind is using to select what it thinks is relevant and what it’s going to forget.
Apollo Robbins
We have the power, as lawmakers, to find ways to support our young men and identify solutions to the hardships they regularly experience.
Lucy McBath
It was never the fame or fortune that drove me to act. It was something I love and enjoy doing it. A lot of people identify who they are by what they do and that’s not me. It’s what I do but not who I am. Who I am is a parent. I’m a family man.
Adam Baldwin
I identify with the Clint Eastwoods and Harrison Fords. Those are my heroes.
Barry Pepper
Strangely, while illiberal feminists treat conservative

Strangely, while illiberal feminists treat conservative women as men in drag, men who identify as women are treated as women.
Kirsten Powers
I don’t identify as white. I have a complex relationship with whiteness.
Rostam Batmanglij
The ability of the president to be perceived as someone with whom all Israelis can identify depends on his ability to avoid being a party to debate.
Reuven Rivlin
Well, the first thing is that I love monsters, I identify with monsters.
Guillermo del Toro
I think when people speak and they come from a place of sincerity and like caring about the situation, you know, it’s easy for people to identify that, and to hear that in the genuine nature of it.
Trevor Bauer
Not everybody is created equal, and it’s important for companies to identify those high potentials and treat them differently, accelerate their development and pay them more. That process is so incredibly important to developing first-class leadership in a company.
Anne M. Mulcahy
I’m black and white, so either, sometimes, you’re not considered by the breakdown of the script: you’re not ‘black enough’ for this role. Or you’re not ‘white enough’ for this role. Or, like, looking up to people, who do I identify with? And not seeing Barbies that maybe look like me.
Vanessa Morgan
I’m an artist. I’m a gay artist. My preferred identity is, ‘any of the sort.’ My fans like to identify me as ‘she,’ but I’m comfortable with who I am, I know who I am and it’s all fine with me.
Big Freedia
I always felt myself to be an unlucky person like Donald, who is a victim of so many circumstances. But there isn’t a person in the United States who couldn’t identify with him. He is everything, he is everybody; he makes the same mistakes that we all make.
Carl Barks
I think the way Win Butler writes, I really identify with it. He writes very emotionally and very cinematically, and I just connect with his sensibility.
Spike Jonze
The problem is you tend to look back and identify mistakes, and as a consequence of feeling terrible about mistakes you say you bungled this so bad, let’s get out of here.
Bob Kerrey
Acting is suggesting, the art lies in leaving room for the audience to identify.
Agnes Moorehead
I am occasionally enraptured by Western landscape. But I don’t identify that state of mind as having to do with my own origins, having grown up in the West, although I certainly crisscrossed Nevada countless times growing up, and then as a young adult, in cars and on motorcycles.
Rachel Kushner
I like guys, but I also identify as a guy – if that makes sense.
Trisha Paytas
A belt doesn’t identify me.
Demetrius Andrade
Running for office, or suggesting you might, is no longer about being a politician but being an independent opinion or sensibility entrepreneur. You’re looking for an audience to identify with you. Rather than trying to convince a majority of the electorate, you’re looking to cull your particular following.
Michael Wolff
Whether you’re playing sports, starting a business or anything else in life, you need to identify your talents. Your responsibility is to find what you do better than anyone else. Once you identify what that is, you need to put yourself in the best position to succeed.
B. J. Armstrong
I’ve always been interested in films where you can identify with the actors. Where you can be in their shoes and therefore be more involved if they’re people that you recognize.
Adrian Lyne
Nowadays, of course, flesh peddlers and scouting services identify the best athletes when they are still in junior high. Prospects are not allowed to sneak up on us.
Frank Deford
My aunt was so attuned to commercials that she could always identify the voiceover actor.
J. K. Simmons
We have the insight and the tools to identify and bring to fruition the dormant talent that our artists possess. Favored Nations will be branded as the home base for inspired musical talent.
Steve Vai
If there is one thing about my family that I do identify with, it is that everyone is extremely hardworking. Also, the people whom I grew up with all did things they really loved. And I think that’s an important lesson.
Rooney Mara
I think I was given a gift to wrestle. And I think when I came back, I had a much better appreciation of that. And I believe the way I went about doing it made me better at it. I didn’t identify myself with the job as I did so much in the ’90s. In the ’90s, I didn’t know who I was other than ‘the wrestler.’
Shawn Michaels
Most people would identify with the fact that we tend to be defined by the struggles we came through than by the successes. And certainly for me that’s true.
Wendy Davis
Today we try to identify a gene and then study its properties.
Walter Gilbert
Seeing states like North Carolina enacting these bathroom bills that are banning transgender individuals from using the restrooms they identify as… it’s complete discrimination.
Jazz Jennings
As a social primate species, we modulate our morals with signals from family, friends and social groups with whom we identify because in our evolutionary past, those attributes helped individuals to survive and reproduce.
Michael Shermer
In this country, most people feel that being successful in their business is a virtue, not a vice, and once we begin to identify it as a vice, this country is going down.
John Fleming
It’s the unusual leading man. Most of the Hollywood leading men are powerful and capable and strong, heroes. He has this vulnerability, he’s fragile, he struggles to find a way to live from day to day that we can identify with, that we can understand.
Mark Rydell
You want to evaluate future borrowers, but in order to train an algorithm that will help you identify future defaults, you have to train it and evaluate it on past data.
Anthony Goldbloom
There are many benefits to having interesting friends on Facebook. In my case, given that fellow academics constitute a sizable portion of my online friends, I am at times privy to shared studies that I might otherwise miss (or perhaps only identify at some future date).
Gad Saad
You need the audience to become invested in the charact

You need the audience to become invested in the characters and in order to become invested, they need to identify with the characters… and that’s why the characters need to be real.
Jordana Brewster
In my songs there are no bad words, so kids can sing them, and girls can identify with singing with them, too, because it’s not like a man singing reggaeton.
Karol G
I’ve worked a lot with kids who identify as LGBTQ or gender nonconforming, and they are unquestionably some of the bravest people I’ve ever met.
Becky Albertalli
It’s hard because it doesn’t matter what you do, most people still identify me as Undertaker’s wife.
Michelle McCool
With paper printed books, you have certain freedoms. You can acquire the book anonymously by paying cash, which is the way I always buy books. I never use a credit card. I don’t identify to any database when I buy books. Amazon takes away that freedom.
Richard Stallman
I couldn’t identify with anyone. At school, I was considered very strange. I didn’t understand the relationships between people.
Marion Cotillard
I understand that when people read my books that there’s something there – but I don’t identify with it.
Kathy Acker
My songwriting process is based on a formula: Color, tone, words. When I hear production, I initially identify the color that resonates with me. From there, I am able to translate the color into tone or emotion, which may depend on a number of things.
Ravyn Lenae
You could identify with Panchamda’s music. It made you fall in love. It made your heart beat. It made you feel you are young.
Anu Malik
The cardinal responsibility of leadership is to identify the dominant contradiction at each point of the historical process and to work out a central line to resolve it.
Mao Zedong
Every young person needs to have a character that they can identify with and feel included by.
Alesha Dixon
No one in my family has been observant for generations, but we all identify with being Jewish.
Adam Mansbach
You used to be able to identify Sox fans in Yankee Stadium. They sat, slump-shouldered, with the same panicked expectation nervous motorists have looking in the rearview mirror at the 16-wheeler behind them on Interstate 95 near New Haven.
Mike Barnicle
Most of my Muslim friends are politically liberal in a lot of senses. They are far more open-minded than the Christian circles I grew up in, which are, you know, actually scarier. That said, too, I still identify with the teachings of Jesus. I don’t think they resemble or relate to modern-day Christianity.
Craig Thompson
Reality does not easily give up meaning; it’s the biographer’s job to clobber it into submission. You’re meant not only to tame it but to extract substance, to identify cause and axiomatic effect. You subsist on the tactical omissions, the hollow words, the oddly unconnected dots.
Stacy Schiff
I usually start from the most general to the more specific. I’ll get an emotional overview for the film as a whole, trying to pinpoint what the musical identity is and come up with thematic ideas – any ideas that identify as succinctly as possible what the film is.
Marco Beltrami
My main efforts focussed on trying to identify the rate controlling steps during the cell cycle. Crucial for this analysis were wee mutants that were advanced prematurely through the cell cycle and so divided at a reduced cell size.
Paul Nurse
‘Fat’ was a terrible, terrible word for me growing up. When I was able to reclaim it and call myself fat and identify with it, that was the best moment ever. That was the moment I really started to feel free.
Barbie Ferreira
Any item of clothing that covers the face and makes it impossible to identify individuals is open to abuse.
Maajid Nawaz
I believe we must seek God’s will, never presuming to identify it with our own program or power.
David Price
My concern has always been to write songs that my audience, my fans are able to identify with.
Guru Randhawa
Everyone can identify with a fragrant garden, with beauty of sunset, with the quiet of nature, with a warm and cozy cottage.
Thomas Kinkade
The philosophy of fasting calls upon us to know ourselves, to master ourselves, and to discipline ourselves the better to free ourselves. To fast is to identify our dependencies, and free ourselves from them.
Tariq Ramadan
Tribalism, after all, is part of our evolutionary DNA. The need to identify with a group, to belong and commune with like-minded people is not only biological, it’s what has helped motivate our desire for and devotion to all kinds of important cultural institutions, from organized religion to sports fandom.
S.E. Cupp
I think people identify with Columbo because he is an average man.
Peter Falk
Perfect heroes are cool, but no one can really empathize or identify with them.
Masashi Kishimoto
I think for diners, it is about crafting an identity around food which we have not really had in a mainstream way in this country. So there is a mass movement of people who identify themselves through their food preferences or even just that they prioritize food – that’s where we get this idea of being a foodie.
Dana Goodyear
I just grew up in the States, so I feel like I identify more with the American culture.
Chloe Kim
Any kind of anthemic song, for the most part, they’re on the positive side of things. It’s not hard to identify when a melody is just one degree too complicated or one degree too simple and where that line of pop memorability lies.
Feist
My particular pain is that the world of Jewishness that I identify with – the extremely assimilated, educated European and Russian Jews in the 19th and 20th centuries – is lost, and is not mourned enough.
Tom Reiss
History is a sly boots, and for a generation of blacks that cannot identify with the frustrations of Jim Crow, and for whites who cannot understand the hard deal that faces working-class blacks, it is difficult to reconcile Hughes’s reputation as a poet-hero with his topical verse and uncomplicated prose.
Darryl Pinckney
The Scottish desire for independence is, to some extent

The Scottish desire for independence is, to some extent, a fabrication. They want to identify themselves as Scots but still to be part of a, to enjoy the subsidy they get from being part of the kingdom.
Roger Scruton
I’m proud to be Canadian. But I identify as being a British mum.
Katherine Ryan
I have beautiful, beautiful clothes, designed by my bachelor boy son, Kenny. Kenny has a big following as it is, and even Lady Gaga has asked Kenny to design dresses for her. But Kenny isn’t very keen on, well, shall we say, extreme women. He likes someone that women all over the world can identify with.
Barry Humphries
The world of marketing is all about trends and the ability of marketers to identify and cultivate them.
John Rampton
When we read stories of heroes, we identify with them. We take the journey with them. We see how the obstacles almost overcome them. We see how they grow as human beings or gain qualities or show great qualities of strength and courage and with them, we grow in some small way.
Sam Raimi
I’m kind of a builder of institutions. I think I’ve got some ability to look at what’s out here, look at a playing field, and identify gaps and niches.
David Brock
I learned how to be a learner. When you get in a job, the tendency is to say, ‘I’ve got to know it. I’ve got to give direction to others. I’m in this job because I’m better and smarter.’ I always took a different view, that the key was to identify the people who really knew and learn from them.
Anne M. Mulcahy
I think there’s an extraordinary overlap between – sort of philosophically, and even in terms of their supporters – between Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. And that is not a part of the Venn diagram that I relate to or identify with when it comes to being a Republican.
Margaret Hoover
I discovered I was an Asian American when I arrived in the U.S. I didn’t identify as that before I came here. People started calling me that, and I started being treated in a specific way.
Mitski
I always make this comparison between Bob Dylan and David Simon. Not in the most flattering way possible – these two intellectual Jews who totally identify with the black man’s struggle!
James Ransone
I try not to identify too strongly with any of my characters. I like to stand back and see them objectively. I think this is why I often use boys instead of girls, just in case I get too close and lose the overall picture.
Jenny Nimmo
When I was younger, I didn’t want to come to WWE because I didn’t fit into the mold. I couldn’t identify myself with the term ‘diva.’ The divas brand was meant to put a spotlight on the women, but the term, to me, felt more glamorous than me.
Becky Lynch
A researcher has to be able to identify key points and suggest intelligent questions.
Jo Swinson
I identify, I guess, as a conservative Catholic.
Ross Douthat
Where there is terrorist activity – Syria or Iraq – we will temporarily suspend immigration until we can establish a vetting system in which we can identify who people are who are coming in.
Paul Manafort
Able Danger was a top-secret military planning operation, established in ’99 by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to identify cells of al-Qaida worldwide and to take out al Qaida terrorists. They identified five cells worldwide, one of them in Brooklyn.
Curt Weldon
A lot of artists I like end up being queer. Or maybe it’s a subconscious thing that you can identify of, like, ‘Oh this person understands the nuances of the romantic narrative of a queer person, or the social narrative of a queer person.’ And then you discover, lo and behold that they are a queer person.
Julien Baker
Automated call centers are only the most obvious way speech recognition will be used. The software is now becoming sophisticated enough to identify speakers through ‘voiceprints,’ akin to fingerprints, eventually reducing the need for personal identification numbers.
Alex Berenson
I can really identify with the content that I read in comics.
Lights
To some extent I could identify with that because I kind of just made my money and got out.
Thomas Haden Church
I was in the seventh grade when I first began to identify as trans and express my gender identity as a girl. My social transition began with growing my hair and wearing clothes and makeup that made me feel like Destiny’s Fourth Child.
Janet Mock
Even if you live in a big city, everybody lives in a small town. We identify ourselves by our neighborhoods – ‘I live in the Village, or in Chelsea.’
Karin Slaughter
It’s always good to be able to identify with the characters that you’re watching and not just easily put them in the bad box or the good box. They’re real people that you care about, and you invest in their journey.
Betty Gabriel
It was an idea we had when Al was in the Senate – to organize and moderate an annual conference that would look at government policy through the lens of the family to help identify ways that the family can be supported and strengthened.
Tipper Gore
It’s difficult to identify why two cultures will react differently to the same sport.
Katie Kitamura
Being trans, I’ve grown up with the understanding that most women are born girls, yet some are born boys. And most men are born boys, yet some are born girls. And if you’re ready for this, some people are born girls or boys and choose to identify outside our society’s binary system, making them genderqueer.
Janet Mock
People try to identify who is the most likely person to turn out, and what we did is that we changed who turns out. And that changes the whole electorate.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
We have to do more than tell women they need sponsors. We have to identify high-potential women by name and strategically map them to those who can help them get to the next level.
Lynne Doughtie
First of all, what happens is, when you’re good at something, you spend a lot of time with it. People identify you with that sport, so it becomes part of your identity.
Mike Krzyzewski
There’s a darkness to Riddick that I think allows people to want him to do bad things because you know Riddick is going to do bad things: that’s just the way it is. But I think that at his core, who he is and what he’s fighting for is something that everybody can identify with.
Katee Sackhoff
Indians can identify with the Indian sensibilities, and rather than taking something from foreign films, it is always good to make a movie which has been enjoyed by a certain audience or in a certain part of India and make it available to a larger audience.
Asin
I think that I identify with my role in pretty much eve

I think that I identify with my role in pretty much everything I have tried to do. I try to find something that I can understand about each character’s behavior.
Paul Rudd
We are in a conflict, whether we like it or not. I think we have to identify the enemy and call it by its name. And the enemy is an ideology rooted in militant Islam.
Ron DeSantis
But I always need to identify with a character to write about him or her – and by ‘identify,’ I mean see the world through that person’s eyes and have a strong sense of the inner logic of their acts and decisions, wacky or wrongheaded though they might be. In that sense, I think there’s some of me in all of them.
Jennifer Egan
We’re two different people, and we’re two different fighters in the ring. You can look at my tattoos and say, ‘Oh that’s Jermall.’ Our tattoos separate and identify my brother and I.
Jermall Charlo
Fragrance, to me, is a scent that you can call your own, have other people identify you with, and also express the vibes that you’re feeling that day.
Devon Windsor
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.
Lamman Rucker
Talking to people is beneficial if you can identify the right people to share ideas and discuss decisions because everyone has blind spots, and others can sometimes catch yours. I think an investment team is a bad idea, but it is a good idea to talk to trustworthy individuals who do not have biases or interests.
Mohnish Pabrai
The characters are likable. Even the villainous Plankton – he’s still flawed, and you still root for him, in a way, and the style of humor is simple, and it’s about human behavior, and everybody can identify with that.
Stephen Hillenburg
I have never understood why people identify with criminals: even if your father and grandfather were criminal, you have to find a way to be free.
Jasmila Zbanic
Nobody knows the future with certainty. We can, however, identify ongoing patterns of change.
Alvin Toffler
I remember, for the first time, sitting down and consuming books in a matter of hours. This was such a new experience for me because reading, up until that point, had been such a struggle and source of stress. I think I just needed to find the right kind of stories with which I could identify.
John Corey Whaley
As a child of West Texas, I identify with Hispanic culture every bit as much as I do North American culture.
Tommy Lee Jones
If you’ve ever felt oppressed on any level, there’s something from ‘The Wire’ that you can take and identify with.
Michael K. Williams
The Attorney General must identify threats to Illinoisans’ financial security and take action to protect people.
Lisa Madigan
Ironically, it is when we identify with our spirits rather than our bodies that we are most powerful on the material plane. Our overidentification with the world does not give us power within the world so much as it diminishes our power here. It makes us frightened and nervous and full of anxiety.
Marianne Williamson
One of the biggest challenges we had in the first decade was not that many people had personal computers. There weren’t that many people to sell to, and it was hard to identify them.
Steve Case
I’m not sure what ‘cheeky’ means. I hear it used so much and in so many different ways, I can’t identify the real meaning of it.
Taylor Lautner
I do strongly identify with being Jewish. I was raised Orthodox and had a childhood complicated by the fact that my father was deeply religious and my mother was not.
Dani Shapiro
I guess when you take a look at the book ‘Atlas Shrugged,’ I think most people always like to identify with the main character – that would be John Galt. I guess I identify with Hank Rearden, the fella that just refused until the very end to give up.
Ron Johnson
A person’s safety and quality of life should not be conditioned upon who they love or how they identify.
Cal Cunningham
I would say a lot of us here think being called a geek is cool. A lot of us at Blizzard identify with it.
Michael Morhaime
When I was 15, I changed my name legally. I think it was largely due to my struggle about being gay. Everything just didn’t fit, and I was trying to find things I could identify myself with, and it started with my name.
Portia de Rossi
I prefer to be able to identify what I’m eating. I have to know.
Alain Ducasse
There are a bunch of images that are thrown in our faces all the time about what we’re supposed to look like at 14, 15, 16. It’s confusing. I think every woman can identify with that struggle.
Zoe Kravitz
I am grateful to God for that because people can still identify me with something in Germany.
Jay-Jay Okocha
Since the time of Richard Nixon, there has been a strange lack of will in the media to identify the real cause for Americans’ anger at politicians who fall, publicly and spectacularly.
Mimi Kennedy
In the early ’80s, it was hard to find celebrities you can identify with if you lived in the hood. There weren’t any rap videos at the time.
Mekhi Phifer
If you put a much older woman in ‘Doctor Who,’ they can identify with it. I think it’s quite an interesting concept, and if you remember things like ‘Grimm’s Fairytales,’ the older woman is often the villainess, often the terrifying figure – why I do not know, but often she is. I think it’s an idea to be exploited.
Kate O’Mara
We live in this thought web; we identify things and put them away and distance ourselves from them. But to be completely present? That is source, that is art, that is spirituality. And meditation is a way to defy fear and experience that source.
Ben Foster
Central Virginia taxpayers should be able to see how their tax dollars are being spent – and they should have the ability to identify which programs could be contributing to waste, fraud, and abuse.
Abigail Spanberger
If LGBT people can identify with our story, if they think, ‘The Golden Lovers are my team,’ I’m good with that.
Kenny Omega
Once the curtain is raised, the actor is ceases to belo

Once the curtain is raised, the actor is ceases to belong to himself. He belongs to his character, to his author, to his public. He must do the impossible to identify himself with the first, not to betray the second, and not to disappoint the third.
Sarah Bernhardt
An important finding is that by determining the genome sequences of an entire family, one can identify many DNA sequencing errors and thus greatly increase the accuracy of the data. This will ultimately help us understand the role of genetic variations in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Leroy Hood
I am repeatedly asked in interviews exactly ‘what’s wrong’ with me, and I always give them the same answer; I don’t identify the name of my condition in an interview unless it’s relevant to the context of the story.
Stella Young
Victorian theorists competed to identify how many biologically differentiated races lived on Earth and proposed inherent characteristics for them, formulated explanations for these presumed variations in humanity.
Nick Harkaway
You have two options when you approach a hostile checkpoint in a war zone, and each is a gamble. The first is to stop and identify yourself as a journalist and hope that you are respected as a neutral observer. The second is to blow past the checkpoint and hope the soldiers guarding it don’t open fire on you.
Lynsey Addario
A lot of people think I had such a rosy career, but I wanted to identify that one of the things that helps you have a long career is learning how to deal with adversity, how to get past it. Once I learned how to get through that, others things didn’t seem so hard.
Cal Ripken, Jr.
My blood runs cold when I hear the ‘great news’ that we have found a marker for the Down’s syndrome gene, which means we can identify it more easily. Why is that good news? It’s only good news if you’re going to terminate.
Sally Phillips
Like Jon Voight, Pat Boone, Kelsey Grammer, and Gary Sinise, Clint Howard is one of the few courageous enough to identify himself publicly as a conservative.
Ronald Kessler
I myself identify as a recovering Blockhead. You’d be surprised how many twenty- and thirty-something hipster chicks have the NKOTB skeleton in their closet, albeit artfully concealed by stacks of Ksubi skinny jeans and ironic Judas Priest T-shirts.
Diablo Cody
I can share my experiences with people, and they identify with it and sing it back to me. That’s the best feeling in the world.
Roddy Ricch
We need to be able to identify and support young people who demonstrate interest and aptitude in entrepreneurship and business creation and give them tools to follow this path throughout their educational experience.
Stephen A. Schwarzman
At least in part, people are attracted to subjects where they can identify at a basic level with the people who do it. The extraordinary aesthetic of the natural world is not obvious to someone who never leaves the inner city. Appreciation of the elegance and power of physical law is an acquired taste.
Margaret Geller
Obviously, different people identify me as the face of women’s hockey and whatnot, but like my teammates, I’m just there to perform and compete.
Hilary Knight
I will forever and always identify with Scarborough – no matter where I move.
Lilly Singh
I credit Google for having the foresight to identify threats to its main business of selling advertising against search results. The potential loss of market share in the mobile space led them to the Android acquisition.
Barry Ritholtz
When you find yourself in a certain situation you have to identify where you want to go and focus on what you can achieve on that given day.
Alex Zanardi
I would never say that claiming you’re a Christian is wrong. I understand that there is a human aspect of being able to identify people whether it’s African American, Hispanic or Asian. But the definition doesn’t define the relationship, meaning you can be married and still not know intimacy.
Kirk Franklin
If I had to identify the one skill set shared by most by the men who become part of the SEAL teams… it would be sheer brainpower.
Brandon Webb
At a young age, I was very aware I was different and not perceived in a good way. For a lot of my adolescence, I struggled with that, trying to identify where I belong and who my real friends are.
Mustafa Ali
A lot of actors seem to dislike typecasting these days. The funny thing is, that’s a fairly recent development. It used to be that actors wanted to be typecast so audiences could remember them and identify with them.
Dick Van Dyke
I can’t identify a race of people in this country who are more committed to the health of this country, who believe more in the Constitution, who believe more in equality and liberation and fairness to everyone else than black people.
Bryan Stevenson
You’ve probably heard from 100 different people that the Patriots are a game plan offense. Here’s what that means: We’re going to watch the defense specifically to identify their tendencies, what they do situationally and what their philosophy is.
Matt Cassel
I’m a lesbian. That’s how I identify myself, but I think there’s a massive spectrum for everyone.
Shura
We believe that more than 4 percent of the children in this country suffer ADHD… We want to know how to better identify and refer children for treatment.
David Satcher
I identify with Superman. I am adopted, I am an only child, and I love the idea that he comes from another world, that he’s the ultimate immigrant. He has all these extraordinary powers, and he has a righteousness about him.
Bryan Singer
I think, in the United States, we talk about race as a black and white issue… We’re generally talking about it as if it’s a binary equation whereas, in fact, there’s more than two races and, in fact, those races blend together. There are a lot of different ways that people identify.
Celeste Ng
We can score political points. We can try to advance some important initiatives. But at some point, it takes sober-minded, responsible conservative leaders to identify when you’ve pushed as far as you can and to have the courage to go back and face the electorate and explain to them why you voted the way you did.
Todd Young
It’s a clique that I’ve never been a part of. It’s not like I identify them in a negative way.
Randy Harrison
We need criminals to identify ourselves with, to secretly envy and to stoutly punish. They do for us the forbidden, illegal things we wish to do.
Karl A. Menninger
It takes courage for a leader to identify and confront self-imposed barriers, to put in place the personal strategies required to unleash the energy, innovation, and commitment to self-development.
Frances Hesselbein
We survey companies and ask them what the barriers to export and import are. Once we map these barriers, we sit down with the companies on one side and the government and regulatory agencies on the other and help them identify obstacles to trade and what has to be done to tackle them.
Arancha Gonzalez
Studies by many labs have already started to identify s

Studies by many labs have already started to identify specific circuits of neurons involved in normal cognitive function like memory and learning, as well as disease processes such as Parkinson’s disease, depression, and autism.
Feng Zhang
Most of my work has been in corporations, studying how you build an organization that helps people to identify and work to their strengths.
Marcus Buckingham
A lot of Jewish kids do identify with us.
Ad-Rock
You can express your generosity in ways that are virtually limitless. This was what I wanted to convey in ‘Giving 2.0’ – that whether you have $10 or $10 million to give, if you identify the right opportunities and make the most of your resources, your impact can be tremendous.
Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen
My thesis project was to identify quasars, which are very distant, very energetic objects and still quite mysterious.
Jocelyn Bell Burnell
It makes me laugh when I hear a guy talking about being in touch with his feminine side. But I gravitate towards women; I identify with them. And I do cry very easily, more and more as I get older.
Willem Dafoe
My success at living a moral life is pretty terrible, but I still aspire to do it! I identify with the Johnny Cash thing that trying to live a good life and be a good person are not necessarily the same thing!
Ben Miller
The Army is a big mixing bowl, and we know that we wear one uniform. We identify with one set of Army values. We serve one Constitution, and we see ourselves as one team.
Mark Esper
And they didn’t have to get into a lot of legal speak or talk ER terms, they were real people. I think that’s why so many actresses were attracted to it. And it was just about problems that you could identify with so much, right off the bat.
James Denton
Who am I, if I’m not this singer with big high notes? I identify with my voice. But I’m more than just the acrobatics.
Idina Menzel
My job in Congress is to identify projects with federal or some other public component and then to push developers to provide employment opportunities to neighborhood residents.
Hakeem Jeffries
Motherhood was the great equaliser for me; I started to identify with everybody.
Annie Lennox
Cambridge Analytica sought to identify mental vulnerabilities in voters and worked to exploit them by targeting information designed to activate some of the worst characteristics in people, such as neuroticism, paranoia and racial biases.
Christopher Wylie
To fund major cultural efforts, we must not rely alone on government and foundation patronage; if the farmer can spend for beer, he can pay for good entertainment which he can understand, which he can identify with and which will fortify his spirit.
F. Sionil Jose
I could not identify with harming my child or giving up my child. But I could identify with giving up my child if it were going to be ultimately in his best interest.
Drea De Matteo
I really identified with Pocahontas’ struggles as a young woman trying to identify herself in a modern, changing world and trying to stay true to her culture and heritage.
Q’orianka Kilcher
They came out over the highway and they stopped and that’s when Barney got out, with the binoculars to try and identify the craft. I mean, he’d been in the military in World War Two, he’s puzzled.
Betty Hill
I identify myself as a explorer, do new things, surprise myself.
Milind Soman
I do feel there is a very rabid young base for ‘Black Mirror’ that will very much identify with the daughter character because of the invasiveness they feel with their parents trying to control their moves on social media.
Rosemarie DeWitt
Kinsey would identify himself with Galileo in moments of feelings of persecution.
Bill Condon
In wartime we identify ourselves with the nation, and its interests are the interests of our primal selves.
George Herbert Mead
Everybody feels up sometimes, they feel down sometimes, sometimes they feel sideways, sometimes they feel weird. And the beauty of music is you can express all those different feelings in all the different songs you write. And hopefully, people can identify with those.
Isaac Hanson
Nobody is so weird others can’t identify with them.
Rebecca Miller
Acting is an imaginative exercise. It would be odd if you didn’t try to identify with the roles you play, but I think I can differentiate between where my imagination is leading me and where I actually am.
John Hurt
As an artist, you tend to identify your sphere of influence and try to employ that as best you can to hopefully be useful.
Anohni
It’s easier to identify with loss than love, because we have had so much more experience of it.
Roger Ebert
I think that ‘minimalist’ is a useful label for other people to identify me, but from my standpoint, I doesn’t necessarily have an identity as that.
Fumio Sasaki
No matter how happy and peaceful you can be at a certain time, you always have this – at least, I do – paranoia or catastrophic thought that even now that I have all this peace and quiet, what’s the next challenge? What’s coming next? On a very human level, I think most people can identify with that.
Salim Akil
I identify myself with the male gaze, I grew up with the male gaze, I’ve been excited by the male gaze. I’m a product of that culture.
Celine Sciamma
I tend to identify with my roles to such an extent that I appear to be totally convinced about certain statements that, in real life, I would never believe in.
Bruno Ganz
I will teach people not only how to identify their goals and dreams, but subsequently give them the tools to make those dreams a reality.
Jillian Michaels
When there is a problem, always identify and evaluate y

When there is a problem, always identify and evaluate your underlying assumptions that may be contributing to the problem or preventing you from seeing the problem clearly.
Elizabeth Thornton
I certainly think that my music is a response to my experience as a person who doesn’t identify as straight, as a person who grew up American.
Rostam Batmanglij
The wall at Le Philosophe is covered with French philosophers, and supposedly, if you are able to name all of them, they will pay for your meal. I was only able to identify Simone de Beauvoir, Sartre, Descartes and, I think, Foucault. And, I think, Luce Irigaray.
Caterina Fake
There are plenty of Latina actresses that no one’s ever heard of… Some are really brown, some are light-skinned, and some look like they’re Caucasian, but it’s like we only want to identify with a certain kind of look and celebrate that under the guise that this is a ‘Latina actress.’
Sara Ramirez
Identity in America is complicated but it’s also simple: it’s about whom you identify with and who identifies with you.
Eric Liu
That is always really fun when you get to work with a director you understand and uses references you can identify with.
Travis Beacham
At the core, I try to write characters who are real people with real insecurities, fears, hopes, and dreams, which is why hopefully readers can identify with them.
Ally Carter
It’s dangerous to get too far from what they identify you with.
Jimmy Rushing
If you normally go quiet when you get angry, you may not relate to a character that reacts very differently. But if you see someone internalising the anger like you do, you will immediately identify with him or her. It’s these small things that penetrate your psyche and make you relate at a deeper level.
Jaideep Ahlawat
There is this cat and mouse game that plays out over time where our team comes up with new and interesting ideas to identify content that we shouldn’t recommend, and over time people are constantly probing that, trying to figure out how can they get around that and get a better reputation on Yelp.
Jeremy Stoppelman
I definitely identify with female leads more; I identify with real female leads, people who are flawed and have issues and make mistakes, so that the characters represent what I’m about.
Lights
I completely identify with finding freedom in boundaries. That’s why I tend to have more freedom when I write nonfiction over fiction: because I’m running up against actuality and beholden to the truth in a different way.
Leslie Jamison
Whether it’s a very dramatic part or a comical role, I feel I need to create the same thing: a full-fledged, three-dimensional character that the audience can identify with.
Christopher Lloyd
People really, really hate their religion being criticized. It’s as though you’ve said they had an ugly face; they seem to identify personally with it.
Richard Dawkins
If there is a Swedish style, I cannot identify it.
Stefan Persson
I think that for a lot of us gay people, we do feel that pop is our music. We identify with it and its iconography, and that’s been a tradition.
Rostam Batmanglij
In Ghana, most of the women I know do not identify as sexy, and the reason may be cultural. With imported beauty standards from the West, it seems that many African women feel they need to be fair and slim to be beautiful.
Philomena Kwao
I believe women need to hear stories and see images that they can identify with, not media-fabricated ideals that even the ‘role models’ themselves can’t live up to.
Amanda de Cadenet
For those who are familiar with my work, ‘Soulfire’ is a return to how most people identify me, which is that soul-meets-rock thing.
Steven Van Zandt
I’m on the road constantly. I’m a nomad. I don’t really have a home right now. I don’t identify with one place in particular.
Daya
I identify with this guy’s frustration and inability to control his fury at moments. I even identify with the way that this guy covers up a lot with humour. So yeah, it’s interesting.
Bradley Whitford
Looking back on it, now I can identify the points in my life when I wasn’t playing, and music – and didn’t have that outlet – those were the points when I was most unguided and self destructive because I didn’t have that channel to get those energies out. I’m a much healthier person when I play music.
Sturgill Simpson
Extremist perspectives win sympathy and recruits because they offer narratives that claim to identify deep injustices and enemies.
Jonas Gahr Store
Many people identify their sense of self with the problems they have, or think they have.
Eckhart Tolle
The white man, in his press, is going to identify me with ‘hate.’
Malcolm X
Well, I think any actor can probably identify with being a professional liar. You don’t always look at yourself that way, but I know a lot of days I do.
John Cusack
