I get to deal with presidents and prime ministers and - and employees from tellers on up. And I love it.

the only person to have interviewed the last seven presidents of the United States and the last six prime ministers of the United Kingdom.

It's great that people get together and collaborate, talk about the facts and the analysis, all in the interest of having a great financial system.

Headmasters have powers at their disposal with which Prime Ministers have never yet been invested

I am not embarrassed to be a banker. I am not embarrassed to be in business.

That's my contribution - running a sound, healthy company that serves millions of customers well and employs hundreds of thousands of people. What else am I going to do? I'm not an artist. I'm not a writer. I'm not a musician. I'd love to be a tennis player or musician. I'm not.
