I'm used to meanness. It doesn't matter to me.

I'm a businessperson. I'm used to dealing with friction.

Let me tell you something about myself. I am a straight shooter.

What I don't like about Washington, if we say one syllable or one sentence, or this guy said something bad about me, then, all of a sudden, they have to be my mortal enemy. I don't think that's how it works in American business.

This is the problem with the leaking. This is actually a terrible thing. Let's say I'm firing Michael Short today. The fact that you guys know about it before he does really upsets me as a human being and as a Roman Catholic.

Luck certainly had a hand in my good fortune. I can't deny that. But it came down to more than luck.
