As an audience member, I live vicariously through the characters I watch or read about. There's something very relatable about comic-book characters. They're never perfect. They're flawed people put in extraordinary circumstances.
It's always better to leave the party early.
I love when there's an obstacle to overcome, even for the audience to actually empathize with that character. I find that interesting, and then, how to work around that and make them relatable. That's something that you have to dig into the moments and into the performances and see how to play those situations that make them relatable.
When you work on something that combines both the spectacular and the relatable, the hyperreal and the real, it suddenly can become supernatural. The hypothetical and the theoretical can become literal.
I was 'gay-bashed' when I was in school even though, you know, I'm not. . . I'm a straight guy that just happens to be what I do. So, it's easily relatable to me. It was awful. It's a hard time in a kid's life.
If you're going to play strength, you've got to marry that with a vulnerability and give your character some relatable qualities.
It's great to see a relatable, accessible young woman out there, doing things and breaking the barriers for what would be considered an action movie.
I think, you know, a lot of the business of comedy is taking your personal experiences and making them relatable to other people.
I think if something resonates, even if it's surreal, it's because it is relatable and I think that that's a core issue for me.
I feel like when you're dealing with your main character, it has to be relatable and feel grounded, and that's the kind of acting I like to do anyway.
I find beauty in melancholy.
I think you become more relatable when you're vulnerable.
I'm okay if everything is honest and truthful and relatable. If it's fabricated and ill-motived, it's not good.
In a way I think why the Ghost story is very relatable to a large audience is that it's kind of a coming of age story and it's a realisation of 'I am what I am - what has happened to me, good or bad, that is the sum of who I am now'.
Playing those one-dimensional characters is actually really difficult because you're not dealing with somebody you would ever really know. I don't think anybody here could imagine actually knowing Cindy Campbell from Scary Movies. So, in a way, your job is so much easier when you're playing a person that you really understand and that seems very relatable. I think I was coming to a place in my career where I was like, "I'd like to do something a little more rewarding. "
The adults were completely wrong.
Please make me either relatable or terrible.
I've always liked working on stories that combine people who are relatable with something insane.
Yes, I live a crazy, exciting, whatever life, but I do think it's quite relatable because it has to be - I'm just a girl from St Louis, Missouri that has lived life like anyone else. There are things that are crazy and over the top, but the basic thread is my family, my career, trying to live and pursuing my dreams.
I think it's a relatable concept - when you have a long-term relationship or marriage, and you want to try to be friends with that person, because you kind of grew up with that person and they know you better than anyone, and how it's just impossible to make that transition seamlessly.
