What I'm trying to do is to create excitement. So people looking at the Bloomberg's office building say, "My goodness, what's going on here? There's something different about this company." You want the employees to get psyched. And it's a chance to meet each other. My job is to get people to work together. With free food and no offices, even for Bloomberg, this might be considered one of the world's great corporate headquarters.

Government caters to those screaming the loudest, regardless of what they're screaming about. In business, it's exactly the opposite! You invest more in the most successful departments, and less in those that aren't performing.

Jeb Bush is very good on immigration, he's very good on education. He's a smart guy.

Progress is not inevitable. It's up to us to create it.

You can't depend on polls.

We should remember it wasn't so long ago that confidence in New York was in short supply.

You can't sit there and worry about everything.
