It irritates the hell out of me but you can't buy love.

I view derivatives as time bombs, both for the parties that deal in them and the economic system.

I mean [Franklin Delano] Roosevelt didn't - you know, when he came in, he didn't print any money.

People do, as long as you have markets, you'll have excesses.

We also believe candour benefits us as managers. The CEO who misleads often in public eventually misleads himself in private.

It's just that I landed up in a terrific capitalist system. One that pays people who allocate capital extraordinarily well. Intrinsically, I'm not worth as much as somebody who invents something that could improves people's life, or health or whatever.

Derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction.
