Because when people take things too seriously, I feel like they feel they're more important than God․ ․ ․ ․ You need that level of self-consciousness, because when you get around people who just are so serious, oof , that's why they're always so serious--they get stuck being serious and they wonder why nobody wants to be around them anymore․""
