If you just focus on producing good outcomes, all that other stuff sorts itself out.

I resolve to work with my colleagues to succeed in producing the good rather than failing to produce the perfect.

'Intensity' is a good word. It's like ambition, if it's not ambition at expense of someone else.

People bring up Willie Horton or some other political bombshell in the past, but what they're not being intellectually honest about is if we do not work on early release, if we do not rehabilitate 95 percent of the people who go into the prison system and come out, far more innocent people are going to be harmed.

A focus on regulatory overreach, things that the benefit doesn't outweigh the cost, is probably the single greatest opportunity we have for having a positive impact on job creation.

I think that you find out what your boss wants you to do, and you do more. To me, that's work ethic. Because, if you demonstrate that your capabilities extend past your current job, they'll probably give you a better job.
