"You know, another thing is that you really get to know the people. People are extremely complex and they are multifaceted, you know? And most of the times, you don't hang out with them enough to understand them. You never get to know these people. You chill with them a few times, and based on those instances, you categorize them into an adjective or a group. We judge. It's pretty normal. 'Oh, he's a bro,' or 'he's a social butterfly.'

"But when you are spending so much time with these people, regardless of whether or not you like them at first, you just give them enough time to show other sides of them. Then we realize that we can never really reduce a person down. Literally in lack of a better way to describe these people, we just start to refer to them as their names. 'That's a very Michael thing to say,' or 'Oh, you would, Michael.' And you just get to know who they are. How complex, irreducible, multifaceted they are.

"And when you know people, you get to like and appreciate them more. You don't necessary love who they are, but you necessarily like them more and feel closer. This is partly because you're just comfortable with them. You have shared past to laugh about, and experience to let you know how to act and what to expect.

'This is also party because they got to know you better, they're comfortable with you, they know how to act and what to expect from you.'"
