Age gives you a great sense of proportion. You can be very hard on yourself when you're younger but now I just think 'well everybody's absolutely mad and I'm doing quite well'.

Summary

This quote reflects how age provides a unique perspective on life and helps individuals develop a sense of proportion. When people are younger, they often tend to be harsh and critical of themselves. However, with age, they come to realize that everyone has their own quirks and flaws, making them perceive themselves in a more lenient light. The quote implies that as one grows older, they become more accepting and content with themselves, contrasting their previous self-critical nature with a newfound sense of satisfaction and understanding.
