Orlando's a part of me. The next guy's a part of me. And the next guy's a part of me. That's all I'm trying to do is tell cool stories that people can relate to.
When I see my staff take a step back because I've lost my cool about something food-related I say never apologise for your standards. If someone doesn't meet them then you should explain that and that you want it changed. I want my staff to be like that too.
Period costume films are fun to discover but they're not relatable. It's more 'Wow that's cool - did it really look like that back then?' Whereas with a comedy you're like 'Yeah that's me that's my friends.' No matter what I want people to relate.
Growing up in the Midwest people don't drive Porsches and Ferraris. They drive Fords and Chevys. And so even if you have the opportunity to buy a more expensive car it doesn't occur to you because it's not what you relate to.
It was all that stuff about taking your parents' car when you're 13 sneaking booze into rock shows and ditching school with your friends. I could relate to that as a former teenager rather than as a present parent.
I don't put myself on Jeff Beck's level but I can relate to him when he says he'd rather be working on his car collection than playing the guitar.
I loved photography and everybody said it was a crazy thing to do because in those days nobody made it into the film business. I mean unless you were related to somebody there was no way in.
For me art and chess are closely related both are forms in which the self finds beauty and expression.
The place of chess in the society is closely related to the attitude of young people towards our game.
I have always detested any departure from reality an attitude which I relate to my mother's poor mental health.
It remains to consider what attitude thoughtful men and Christian believers should take respecting them and how they stand related to beliefs of another order.
I am trying to make art that relates to the deepest and most mythic concerns of human kind and I believe that at this moment of history feminism is humanism.
Mathematics is as it were a sensuous logic and relates to philosophy as do the arts music and plastic art to poetry.
What strikes me is the fact that in our society art has become something which is only related to objects and not to individuals or to life.
Fame is the echo of actions resounding them to the world save that the echo repeats only the last art but fame relates all and often more than all.
I don't think I could play a character that I couldn't relate to somehow. I'm not unfamiliar with frustration anger shame helplessness and a load of other emotions that make up our psycho-soup. I try to focus on that frustration that sense of unfairness and multiply it.
I love Prince Harry. Good looking and a bit of a rebel. Me and his dad are as thick as thieves and I knew Harry before I knew his dad so we've met a few times. I think he's amazing. And I think you can relate to him because he's made mistakes. He's cool.
