Interpretation
Collaboration and support from loved ones are essential for achieving significant accomplishments.
This quote emphasizes the importance of teamwork and the role that our close relationships, such as with friends and siblings, play in our ability to succeed in life.

It sometimes makes people feel better about themselves, you know, to put other people down, or make fun of them, or maybe make mockery of their work and that doesn't make me feel good at all.
