— Some people take our profession and show business seriously, but what does that actually mean? silly. That’s why I’m constantly trying to expose some kind of falsehood imposed on me. People tell me to stop kidding myself [w sytuacjach zawodowych — red.]. What, we’re at a funeral, did we leave our sense of humor in the dressing room with our jacket? – said Eric Kolm Jr. in an interview with Onet.
