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

Success can never identify who you are. You must always identify it. You cannot allow the failures to identify who you are.

Greg Plitt

I identify with my body, but I don't identify it as male or female; I just identify it as a vehicle to help me bring my awareness around the world.

Rain Dove

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 do identify as a Muslim and I do identify as a Bangladeshi girl, I identify as British, as well, and a woman and I'm a woman of colour, and why am I ashamed of that? And I used to not want to talk about it. But that is me.

Nadiya Hussain

I can identify with steelworkers. I can identify with workers that have had a difficult time.

Dan Quayle

I myself identify as British-Nigerian, and I'm also gay, and I'm also a young adult in London making music. All of things can co-exist as one.

MNEK

I identify as queer. I just don't know what any of these labels mean.

I think 'Scarface' is a great film, but if you have a character like Tony Montana, you don't identify with him at all. I think it's very interesting instead to identify yourself with a character you don't like all the time. You can create a tension between the fiction and the viewer. You force the spectator to wonder about his actions.

Jacques Audiard

I have been villainized because of my identity - I've received nasty blog comments and emails just based on my willingness to identify with feminism by people who clearly don't understand what I value and why I identify as a feminist. Ultimately, I'm less concerned with whether or not people identify as feminist and am more concerned with whether or not people understand what feminism is. If they don't want to identify as a feminist that's fine. I respect people's decision to identify any way they want and expect that same respect in return, although I don't always get it.

Julie Zeilinger

This backlog affects not just the ability to identify and convict the guilty, but it also affects our ability to identify the innocent.

Chris Asplen

As a person who doesn't identify as straight, any love song I write is contextualized by a queer identity.

Rostam Batmanglij

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

It's like one of the best things that can ever happen to you as an actor: to have your story reach people, even if they don't look like you and even though they may not be able to identify with a black male; they can still identify with what's happening to you.

Jay Ellis

I'm not a southern lady, I'm from Pennsylvania and we speak sort of correctly there. People identify me that way and they also easily identify me on the street because of my short stature. I get picked out in many ways and no way is a burden.
