"Sometimes, not too frequently, we stumble into problems that are new. Really new... Those moments and the consequent teamwork are then the ones we live for... I mean the rest is OK, needs to be solid, but those are the creamy parts why we genuinely love this business. We can do a solid job ... for anybody and be happy to do it. But down the road there is always a cake. Do your lot and fetch the cake. Mind the proportion, however."
