My Mom Used To Always Tell Me That You Judge Other People By How They Seem, And You Judge Yourself By How You Really Feel Because You Know What You Are. That's Why Everybody Feels So Inferior All The Time. I Think It's All Part Of The Fame Game That People Play. You Read The Tabloid Magazines And It Just Seems Like It's Another World, Full Of Exciting People Who Aren't Like The Boring Schmuck You Work Next To. The Irony Is That A Lot Of What I Do Is Really Boring, Even Though Some Great Things Happen.

My mom used to always tell me that you judge other people by how they seem, and you judge yourself by how you really feel because you know what you are.
