Here's my story: My mother and I were at Cirque du Soleil…

“Here's my story: My mother and I were at Cirque du Soleil, looking down on Shiner doing his act. She was always tolerant of my being a clown, but I don't remember her rolling with laughter. But with Shiner, she could not sit up straight!” quote by Bill Irwin
