The word 'Spanx' was funny. It made people laugh. No one ever forgot it.
I failed the LSAT. Basically if I had not failed I'd have been a lawyer and there would be no Spanx. I think failure is nothing more than life's way of nudging you that you are off course. My attitude to failure is not attached to outcome but in not trying. It is liberating.
I think it better that in times like these a poet's mouth be silent for in truth we have no gift to set a statesman right.
