Im playing my mom; this is her award, he said.
Im stealing every little nuance she had.
Every little thing your mother does, at some point in your life youll find yourself doing it.
Just embrace it and realize that they won.
And theres nothing you’re able to do about it.
Anderson said he hoped the award would get more eyeballs forBaskets, which he said is about misfits.
This show is all about not fitting in, and then fitting in perfectly, he said.
We live in a society of exclusion.
I hope that season 2 ofBasketswill make people go, They werent kidding.
