asked build cosmic cosmos fit lives peacefully personal religious smaller turn
We were made for something cosmic and will not fit peacefully into anything much smaller.

No, I didn't expect this to happen. Historically, shows do not win the Emmy in their first year, ... I've been very selective about what roles I've decided to take, from 'Party of Five' to 'Lost.'
