Larry David Quotes About Parenting, Divorce, And Baldness

Publish date: 2024-09-29

Through 8 seasons of narcissistic schmuckery on Curb Your Enthusiasm (and soon to be a ninth), Larry David has been a fairly good example of how not to be a person. But, that’s just the character Larry David. The real guy is not only the the co-creator of Seinfeld, but a Broadway playwright, humanitarian, and Prius driver. And even though he got divorced back in 2007, he still has 2 great kids (Cazzie and Romy) and things are pretty, pretty … pretty good. Here’s the collected wit and wisdom from Mr. David.
