If people can’t deal with their problems, they numb themselves a little bit.
Meaning of the quote
When people have problems they don't know how to solve, they sometimes try to make themselves feel less by doing things like drinking, using drugs, or distracting themselves. This might make them feel better for a little while, but it doesn't actually fix the problem. It's important to find healthy ways to deal with our issues, instead of just trying to ignore them.

The funny thing about commercials to me is that many of them now don’t even mention the product until the very end. You don’t really know what the commercial is all about. They’re kind of like little movies, like shorts, and that’s why I think they’re so entertaining.

I think people really appreciate clever commercials, as do I. I think they’re very entertaining. You just have to wade through all the garbage. That’s one of the reasons people watch the Super Bowl. A lot of them watch it to see the commercials and not the actual game.
