"It's the relationships between people that are more important than the sort of far away fantasies of what the good life is, the world of supermodels and Bud ads"
About this Quote
The intent is quietly defiant. Sorvino isn’t romanticizing relationships as soft-focus salvation; she’s making a practical claim about where meaning actually accrues. Relationships are local, messy, reciprocated. They demand presence rather than consumption. The subtext is feminist without waving a banner: the supermodel world is a stage where women are often props, and the “good life” becomes something you watch, buy, and perform rather than build.
Context matters here: an actress speaking from inside an industry that manufactures fantasies for a living. That gives the quote its edge. It’s not an outsider scolding culture; it’s someone who knows how the image-machine flatters and hollows. The rhetoric is simple, almost conversational, which is why it works: it refuses the language of branding and replaces it with the oldest metric of value - who shows up for you when the ad ends.
