During a panic attack, I remember that today is just today and that is all that it is. I take a deep breath in and I realize that in this moment I am fine and everything is okay. More importantly, I am reminded that my A.P.C. jeans are so perfectly worn in that they are appropriate for any season and I am suddenly at ease. Max Greenfield Read Quote
Shows like ‘All in the Family’ and now ‘Mom’ – there’s a tradition of tackling real issues. Max Greenfield Read Quote
