'Dawson's Creek' was my college experience.
I received the same kind of question many times. Do I drink? Of course I do. I do what all others do.
Sometimes I'm real cool, but sometimes I could be a real asshole. I think everyone is like that.
I don't know anyone who was never a geek, really, when they look at their own lives. I think that from the outside looking in, you think that you weren't necessarily a tragic geek, but yes, you did lean in that direction.
I am the public, a boy from Chandigarh who's bought tickets in black and revered films since childhood, and when I choose scripts, I take out the garb of an actor-slash-star, and I consume the script as a layman.
I can understand a family that's imploding. I have experience of that in my own life.
I want somebody to hear my song and say, 'You know, man, I've been through that.'
I want content that is relevant to my life, that is relevant to me, that is set in the real world.
I am a ordinary teenager. I fall in love like everyone else.
The idea of being a character who is kind of isolated, I can relate to that.
Feeling the pressure to find a job or make the wage we earn go as far as we need it to? That's totally relatable. Nearly all my pals, and definitely myself, have been in that situation. It's no fun.
In my comedy, I'm not always trying to say something, but when I'm playing a creepy dude, you're laughing because you know that creepy dude. You've heard that dude say something awful, and I'm just putting a little creative spin on it.
I wanted to get people to feel where I'm coming from and connect with people who are feeling the same way that I am.
Any story hits you harder if the person delivering it doesn't sound like some news robot but in fact sounds like a real person having the reactions a real person would.
Family is conflict and it's something that we all relate to.
I didn't feel so great when I was a teenager, but who does?
I love being a part of something so many people can relate to and enjoy.
I'm really proud of 'Coming Home.' I wrote that about Eric, and I just feel like it's very relatable for anyone who has to be away from their loved ones, you know, for long periods of time - our military, people who are working. It's pretty special.
Jeezy just recognized my grind, and I jumped on board with him to enhance it. Artistically, we're in the same mind frame. We come from very similar backgrounds - poverty. That's something that we can both relate to, something that we can convey in our music.
There's something so great when you're watching a movie when you slowly get to know somebody more, because it's like a real relationship.
Realizing you're not anything special to the kids is always a great sort of reminder that you're just a regular person. A regular, embarrassing old mom.
YA, I feel, is so accurate to what it is like be a teenager and the realities of being a teenager and being in love.
I have become that middle-aged woman who listens to the 'Hamilton' soundtrack in my kitchen.
I feel fortunate I have this amazing relationship with so many people in America, because I was in their homes at a very private time of day. They probably might have still had their robe on and their slippers and haven't made the beds.
For people to link my music to their lives, it's incredible, there's no other feeling like it.
