I can't relate to Mansfield or Monroe. The only one I can relate to is Bardot. First of all, there's a certain physical similarity between us. Second of all, she was very strong--she didn't have that affected sexuality.
The entire heavenly realm is within us, but to find it we have to relate to what's outside.
I relate to [women and children in women's shelters] on a personal level because I've been there myself.
You never want to play too vampiric or generically evil, so you look for emotions or character traits that you can relate to.
I'm named after Jane Austen's Emma, and I've always been able to relate to her. She's strong, confident but quite tactless.
Democrats don't relate to middle-class people.
LL Cool J was a rapper-turned-actor, and I also relate to him because he was sort of a ladies' man and had a female fan base, but yet he's a positive dude. You never read about him getting into trouble or going to jail.
God is Spirit - without the Holy Spirit you cannot relate to Him.
I'm sure I can't relate to what females go through in Hollywood, but I do know what it feels like to eat emotionally. To be sad and make yourself happy with food, and then be almost immediately sad again, and then ashamed. Then, you try to hide those feelings with more food.
An ostentatious man will rather relate a blunder or an absurdity he has committed, than be debarred from talking of his own dear person.
I'm not a militant lesbian. I carry myself in a way that makes it easier for women to relate to. I can be your best girlfriend.
Art has to be incredibly layered. Symbols, signifiers. . . layers that relate. Combine signifiers with more abstract notions. Push! Vary lines.
I'd made these experimental films but I thought the major chore of a filmmaker was to relate to actors.
LATE will always be the most important song to me. I used to struggle to perform it live without getting upset but have performed it a lot now, which has really helped. Very often it makes people in the audience cry, and that means so much to me that they can relate to the emotions in the song. It was actually a really easy song to write, I wrote most of it in one day. . . it sort of flowed out of me. I was never good with dealing with emotion, so I think I kind of needed to write it!
I hope that just what I sing about and how I relate to my audience is as much of a political statement as I need to make.
Everything that you've learned: 'Make a lot of money, have a nice house'. But they never teach you at school how to relate, how to communicate with others, how to share values with others. . . . They teach you how to make a living. You become an optometrist, he becomes a physicist, she becomes a structural engineer, he's an architect. In the future, none of that. Everybody is trained to be a generalist, so they understand different cultures, different values, how we get to be the way we are. So no-one can ever use you for war or killing anybody or hurting anybody
Everyone seems to relate to the awkwardness of being a teenager, or even a 30-year-old.
The new freedom of expression brought by the Internet goes far beyond politics. People relate to each other in new ways, posing questions about how we should respond to people when all that we know about them is what we have learned through a medium that permits all kinds of anonymity and deception.
When I used to play nightclubs, you had to play Top 40 or favorite oldies that maybe people could relate to.
Really to see the sun rise or go down every day, so to relate ourselves to a universal fact, would preserve us sane forever.
