Which one seems the most exciting to you?’”—JS“I'm waiting for somebody to write and go ‘Yeah, this is a stupid idea. And I don't ever want to hear from you again.’”—RM“If you can introduce really smart, fun people into the process (of getting outside), that sounds like a really good routine to get into.”—JS“There's always going to be those periods (of laying groundwork), but the ideal is that they're moving you towards something else, even if you're pulling your hair out while you're going through them.”—RM
