I was never afraid to go back to Pittsburgh and work in the steel mills.

It's been the work that has carried me and I never wanted to rest on my laurels or go back and do what I done before.

I left Goldman Sachs. I was thinking about going to another Wall Street place. I didn't want to do that. That was crazy. After you work on Wall Street, it's a choice: would you rather work at McDonald's or on the sell side? I would choose McDonald's over the sell side.

Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.

For the longest time I was afraid I'd have to keep on working at the factories. There was a steel mill and a pottery; if you didn't go to college, you went to work in those places.

Given the question of where the liabilities lie, there should be a fight. That fight can't be made without an equity committee.
