It's amazing how much data is out there. The question is how do we put it in a form that's usable?

One of the things I've had the advantage of, growing up and being close to the top management of this company and other companies for most of my life, is seeing how CEOs start to believe in their own infallibility. And that really scares me.

Creating a strong business and building a better world are not conflicting goals - they are both essential ingredients for long-term success

I think the world is filled with so much hype and PR bull. Frankly, it all comes out in the end. Good or bad, I'd rather just let our accomplishments really speak for themselves.

When I joined Ford, in the late 1970s, I felt strongly we could not forever be a huge user of natural resources without there being consequences. But I was alone in my thinking in those days.

I believe very strongly that corporations could and should be a major force for resolving social and environmental concerns in the twenty-first century.

I don't ever want to believe my own press clippings, good or bad.
