You know, I’ve already hit my limit at 9:30, so I woke up, and I’ve been on it two hours already because, cuz you know how it can just keep going and going.”Danson asked if the “limits” Harrelson had set for himself when he did own a cell phone were strictly for phone calls or for using apps and texting loved ones.“Texting and, well, I don’t know about apps, but texting and also, you know, whatever, so I just finally, I wanted to be able to be in a, like if I were out to dinner with you, right?
