I am very grateful to Amazon for giving me the opportunity to end it on our own terms but, for sure, I feel lots and lots of pressure to end it well. Because if we can stick the landing, then people will be like, ‘That was a great show.’ But if we shit the bed, people will say: ‘It was a good show, but then it shit the bed. For the legacy of the show, I really want to land the plane. It’s hard to land the plane! I feel an incredible amount of pressure.”
