“I know that sounds so circular, but for you, what you were made to do, is different than what I was made to do.

“There's a difference between a caper and a prank. A prank is like playing Ding-Dong-Ditch, you know, you ring the doorbell and then run and hide in the ditch. That's a prank.

But a caper is different. It's something where everybody has made it in.”
