We go there with confidence but we know there is a very fine line between success and failure in this game.

The difference between a beautifully made failure and a beautifully made hit is who you've got playing the leads.

Elegance is not a dispensable luxury but a factor that decides between success and failure.

There's a difference between a failure and a fiasco... a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions.
