A Quote by Randy Couture

You have to find ways to relate to the characters you get to play. Put it in terms and in a context that speaks to you.

I have a lot of real life experience that I can draw on. And I think that shows in the characters that I play because I'm always trying to find somebody - or find characters to play that I can identify with on a personal level or relate to. And I think it makes for a little bit more of an honest portrayal.

Mark Wahlberg

What I find is that when young people find a brand they relate to, that they feel speaks to them, they want it in every format they can get.

Elaine Welteroth

I always have to find things that I relate to and understand in the characters that I play; otherwise, it won't feel that authentic.

KiKi Layne

It's very important to me to find ways to relate the audience to the characters. This is the first thing to go in most mainstream horror films.

Ti West

I relate to those characters - and any character I play - in as much as I put myself in their positions and feel how I would personally deal with their experiences.

Nathan Fillion

You play the honesty of the characters and show a side of them that people can relate to and want to get to know.

Brian Tyree Henry

I definitely did not play myself. As the writer of the script, I have traits of all the characters. I can relate to all of the characters.

Cherien Dabis

In my own work, I don't have favorite characters, but I have characters that I relate to the most. And I relate the most to Simon from 'The Mortal Instruments,' and also Tessa from 'The Infernal Devices.' They're more sort of bookish and shy characters.

Cassandra Clare

I want to play characters that people relate to, characters that make different kinds of women in society feel represented.

Danielle Macdonald

I have few other characters to relate to other than myself. I have enough of a body of work now that the paternal side of Alan Thicke gets a lot of play. I do get a lot of calls to play dads.

Alan Thicke

We've got so many different cultural groups in my family that I've had to learn to accommodate them in different ways. My father speaks different to my mum. My mum speaks different to my grandmother. Everybody speaks different, so you find you start tweaking your language to be more accessible to people.

Trevor Noah

With every character you play you're always trying to put facets of yourself into those characters. I think Asher, at the beginning of The Giver, when he's goofy and a little bit of a rule-breaker, a little bit of a jokester, I align with him. But then he kind of transforms throughout the movie and becomes someone I don't necessarily relate to. I relate to Adam McCormick's sensitivity. He's more quiet and introverted, and I definitely have those moments as well.

Cameron Monaghan

I think the universal themes of "American Pie" are what make it attractive to everybody. How to people relate to these characters? It's because these five male characters in this movie wouldn't ordinarily be in the same friend group and they each have their own part to play in the whole thing. There's a character for everybody in this movie that they can relate to... that they either were or knew someone that was. To cover the range like that is pretty unique to our franchise.

Chris Klein

I find that I relate to most of the characters that I play on a really personal level, just because we're the same age, we're girls, and we're growing. I can find myself in those roles, so it makes it easy to connect to. But all of them are their own person - they're all hard to understand and hard to figure out, just like I am.

Kathryn Newton

I'm an actor, and I want to play flawed characters, and I'm a writer that wants to write flawed characters, trying to let something out and hoping people relate through that or have fun experiencing the story.
