Roles Quotes

Our lives are a mixture of different roles. Most of us are doing the best we can to find whatever the right balance is . . . For me, that balance is family, work, and service.

David Emerald

I had to gain weight until I looked like a seal so I could compete with the real whores who played the other roles. I was fat as a barrel.
