Failure Quote by Michelle Monaghan
“"OK, well everyone makes a mistake, right?" But then when you think it probably happened again that's when you think: "Shame on you once and shame on me twice, or however that saying goes." But everyone's been down that road. It's not about the little things anymore, but the major things that tell you if you don't move on at that point then I'm a fool.”

![“It was very fortuitous that the show [True Detective] actually spans seventeen years - so as I was getting older on the show, I was gaining weight. When I'm playing fifty, I'm ten pounds heavier! I don't know if they thought maybe I was method? But it actually worked to my benefit.” quote by Michelle Monaghan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/d34/michelle-monaghan-9225_benefits_it-was-very-fortuitous-that-the-show-tru_316406.jpg)
