#2“What stops us from looking at ourselves and seeing ourselves is that we’re kind of ugly, if we really, if we look really hard,” Mr. Murray replied. “We’re not who we think we are. We’re not, uh we’re not as wonderful as we think we are.”
Classic example of an ugly person who has limited awareness of the fact that he is an individual who is individual from other people.

I got lost in the levels of indirection there. Can you flatten that out?

I'm sure you are making a point but I don't have enough reading comprehension to understand it.

I think they are saying "speak for yourself".

I read it as "Bill Murray is ugly but doesn't realize that he's not like everyone else" (who presumably are not ugly).
I also read it as a comment from someone unable to be self-critical. When Bill Murray says we're uglier than we think, I assume he doesn't mean that we're all secretly terrible people, but that our flaws are worse than we want to admit to ourselves, that honest introspection hurts because it means confronting those flaws we spent so much time downplaying and ignoring. I'm sure Bill Murray's flaws are not the same as mine or anyone else's, but I'm pretty sure most people have flaws they are unhappy about.

#7His 1997 (semi?) biographical film Private Parts is full of lascivious shenanigans that you might expect from a "shock jock", but it's also thoughtful and charming.

#8Love Stern, listen to him almost every day. I also generally don't care for celebrities, but when he interviews them I do care. It's the most real you'll ever see them.
