If I had my way, if I was lucky enough, if I could be on the brink my entire life — that great sense of expectation and excitement without the disappointment — that would be the perfect state.

In my career, I thought I've never wanted to get anywhere in particular. I just wanted to work with interesting people on interesting projects.
