And if you cannot be surprised, there's never going to be any new art.

There's never going to be a joke that you haven't heard.

There's never going to be surprise behavior that makes you laugh.

And that's just such a source of joy for me that I just can't imagine that contentment is the same as happiness.

Kim Wexler was an incredibly capable person at suppressing it, whereas I do not think Carol is.

But yeah, I guess she did have anger, a certain righteousness about her.

No, I struggle mightily with how much I suppress my anger.

And as you said, there's this idea of anger can be, you know, a miasma almost that like can spread.

And we've all seen like

horrible things can happen when you just are riling people up with, you know, frothing at the mouth with anger about things and negativity.

But at the same time,

It is a necessary emotion, which I think is one of the arguments in the show that I side with of the idea that all of the emotions are important, not just happiness.

And and not express a lot of anger when I was much younger, I would scream it as a teenager, you know, screaming, yelling like the typical arguments you have over hairspray and idiotic things as a teenager.

But plus, it was my parents were divorced.

And so it was a household of three women, my mom and my sister and I. So there were actually a lot of hairspray arguments there.

But, you know, you kind of grow out of this complete temperamental just I'm going to spew anything I want coming out of my mouth and you get out into the real world.
