Adam ColeAdam Cole An Oscar is a total honor. It’s thrilling, and on the one hand, it means a lot of things, and on the other hand, it doesn’t really mean anything. It’s a moment in time.
Julia RobertsJulia Roberts After all, spinning is its own reward. There wouldn’t be carousels if it weren’t so.
Adam GopnikAdam Gopnik I think too, Jay Lethal being apart of Ring of Honor and being in that role where he’s one of the guys who has the company on his back, he’s taking that very seriously, and you can see it n his work. So it’s been really cool to see.
