“If it’s a good idea and it gets you excited, try it, and if it bursts into flames, that’s going to be exciting too. People always ask, ‘What is your greatest failure?’ I always have the same answer — We’re working on it right now, it’s gonna be awesome!”

(And given that our little trial run here was outed on Twitter after a mere 11 days, the choice of picture here is thoroughly ironic.)
