Jonathan Tropper Quote

Things have been going too well for me lately. I feel like I have some bad karma headed my way. Tamara frowns at me as she leads me toward the dressing rooms. That’s a pretty dire outlook on life, she says. What’s the point in working to be happy if you’re going to be constantly looking over your shoulder, wondering when it’s time to pay the bill?
