People are pretty much alike. It's only that our differences are more susceptible to definition than our similarities.

Human beings, from their own point of view, are very different than what people see.

We go on and on about our differences. But, you know, our differences are less important than our similarities. People have a lot in common with one another, whether they see that or not.

People don't really think other people are the same.

There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.

Cultural comparisons are good because they can tell you about what's similar, but also sometimes they make it easier to see obvious differences.

I really think the human experience is very similar for everyone; we're all doing slightly different versions of the same thing.

The ways in which things are superficially similar but also distinct is interesting to me.

I don't want to discredit people's individuality, but I think people are pretty much the same. People are very similar. If you have a good enough imagination then you can feel things that you personally have never done before. That's acting.

It's difficult to have any animosity towards someone if you recognize that on so many levels they're exactly the same as you.
