You judge people as you meet them.

Smells are so powerful and evocative, sometimes stronger than visual cues.

I think naturally you want to judge things.

Self-esteem and self-contempt have specific odors; they can be smelled.

I'm the opposite of someone like David Grossman, who knows how his characters walk, and how they smell. I don't allow myself to imagine what mine look like at all. My sense of them comes from the inside. They remain, by necessity, physically vague in my mind.

I judge people very quickly.

I suppose we're not supposed to judge people.

I judge people based on their capability, honesty, and merit.

Smell is incredibly important and sensual; it communicates who you are.
