Nothing in life and nothing that we do is risk-free.
No matter how much you plan and prepare, things can still go wrong.
The thing about taking risks is, if it's really a risk, you really can fail. It's only a pretend risk if you really can't fail.
If there is a 50-50 chance that something can go wrong, then 9 times out of ten it will.
There is anything but an assurance of success, I have to be very clear about that.
I think all of us certainly believed the statistics which said that probably 88% chance of mission success and maybe 96% chance of survival. And we were willing to take those odds.
Any pick you make, or any player you sign, something can go wrong.
I've always said that it's like being the winner of three separate lottery tickets - getting a pilot, getting the pilot picked up, and having a show that actually lasts. There are no guarantees, and no one knows where a show is going to go.
