I have a worm's eye view and a bird's eye view simultaneously and it's immensely helpful to understand what is happening on the shop floor when you are harnessing many talents and telling an intimate story on a large scale.

I think we consider too much the luck of the early bird and not enough the bad luck of the early worm.

The early bird catches the worm.

And the oldest birds hunt when they can see.

Waiters are like actors waiting in the wings, bantering whenever we passed each other on the restaurant floor, shouting at each other backstage in the kitchen and winking and corpsing above the heads of our audience, the unsuspecting customers.

The early bird gets the worm. The early worm... gets eaten.
