...or as Robespierre said, "It's all in the execution."

So your point is work is nothing to get excited about regardless of who it serves.

Far be it from me to speak for Rob...but I think he's invoking a bit of what Alfred Hitchcock used to say about filmmaking, essentially that all the fun is in the conceptualizing and visualizing of the story. The actual production is more of a drudgery and a bore... and in Rob's case can be nerve racking, stressful and nauseous in just thinking about the daunting tasks ahead.
