Quotes to ponder:
"When How I Met Your Mother first went on the air, I ran into an actress that I knew and she said, ‘Are you just like so happy all the time?’ And I remember thinking, ‘Does she really think that when CBS picked up this show, it left me with an inability to feel anything other than unbridled joy?’"
"Jim Carrey once said, 'I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer.'"
"The highest highs in life are actually the greatest danger to your long-term contentment."
