When I'm on camera, I have to do things pretty much the way I do things in everyday life. It gives the audience someone real to identify with.
Motherhood was the great equaliser for me; I started to identify with everybody.
I identify with the regular person, because that is who I am.
Emptiness is in fact form when we forget the self. There's nothing in the universe *other* than ourself. Nothing to compare, name, or identify. When it's the only thing there is, how can we talk about it?
We can identify with Frodo and Sam, setting off not knowing quite where they are going and what they are to do.
I could characterize nearly any spiritual practice as simply this: identify and quit, identify and quit, identify and quit. Identify the myriad forms of limitation and delusion we place upon ourselves, and muster the courage to quit each one. Little by little, deep inside us, the diamond shines, the eyes open, the dawn rises, we become what we already are.
I completely identify as female, believe it or not.
I’m trying to get away from roles. I used to identify myself strictly in terms of my role, but when your roles fall away, part of you falls with them.
My mother helped me identify myself the way the world would identify me. Bloodlines didn't matter as much as how I would be perceived.
Life is simple. Life is not complicated. Life is only one thing: Identify yourself.
The first thing I do when I read a part is see if I can identify emotionally with a character. If I make that connection, everything else is just working on knowing their life circumstances and manifesting those through practice and research.
A reader should be able to identify a column without its byline or funny little picture on top purely by look or feel, or its turgidity ratio.
I identify more with people who ask each day for divine guidance than people equipped with a divine guidance system.
One should identify oneself with the universe itself. Everything that is less than the universe is subjected to suffering.
Coming from a background as unique as mine, the first challenge is being able to identify chaos as chaos. For the first half of my life, I interpreted chaos as normal. Today, I am aware that I have triggers: a default way of thinking that is often not relative to the immediate moment. Therefore, in the midst of chaos, I have learned to relinquish all my premature cognitive commitments and become present.
When we can identify a problem and face the problem with confidence and enthusiasm, the solution is on the way.
A way of life can be shared among individuals of different ages, status, and social activity. It can yield intense relations not resembling those that are institutionalized. It seems to me that a way of life can yield a culture and an ethics. To be "gay," I think, is not to identify with the psychological traits and the visible masks of the homosexual but to try and define and develop a way of life.
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.
. . . the young people are the ones who most quickly identify with the struggle and the necessity to eliminate the evil conditions that exist.
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.
