#Balance Quotes

“Drama can feel like therapy whereas comedy feels like there's been a pressure and a weight lifted off of you.

“Everything has gotten vulgar and out of line for children to watch. It's more of a swearing match.”
“I celebrate three holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Telluride.”
“An actress once advised me, 'Make sure you do your own laundry - it will keep you honest.'”

I told Mom that I would protect it from the wind and water it every day so that it could grow nice and tall and straight. Mom frowned at me. "You'd be destroying what makes it special," she said. "It's the Joshua tree's struggle that gives it its beauty.”
