Summary

This quote suggests that humans have a tendency to be critical of others who possess the same faults as themselves. It implies that individuals are often unwilling to accept and tolerate others' imperfections, as it can serve as a reminder of their own shortcomings. This behavior implies a lack of empathy and understanding, as we are more inclined to judge others rather than extend the same grace to them that we desire for ourselves.

When you say 'design,' everybody thinks of magazine pages. So it's an emotive word. Everybody thinks it's how something looks, whereas for me, design is pretty much everything.

I've been all over the world. I love New York, I love Paris, San Francisco, so many places. But there's no place like New Orleans. It's got the best food. It's got the best music. It's got the best people. It's got the most fun stuff to do.
