"Last year, at the beginning of the year, we couldn't get arrested, so I'll take this. Feast versus famine"

This quote by Josh Schwartz is a metaphor for the unpredictable nature of success. He is comparing the lack of success they experienced at the start of the year to a scarcity, and the success they are experiencing now to a banquet. He is revealing his gratitude for the present success they are experiencing, in spite of the lack of success they experienced in the past. This quote is a pointer that success is not always guaranteed, and that it can reoccur in waves. It is necessary to value the successes we experience, no matter how little, and to remember that even when we are in a duration of starvation, a feast may be just around the corner.
