The art schools... you get young kids doing the most vile and meaningless crap. I think they believe every bit of it.

But I think doctors have always been either honest or dishonest.

I always felt that I had anxiety of survival in terms of livelihood even when I was making plenty of money.

I think it has other roots, has to do, in part, with a general anxiety in contemporary life... nuclear bombs, inequality of possibility and chance, inequality of goods allotted to us, a kind of general racist, unjust attitude that is pervasive.

Own the leadership style that makes you you. If you are an empathetic leader by nature, embrace that.

There is no substitute for American leadership and exceptionalism.

Transparency, accountability and sustainability have become the slogans of the market leaders. Companies carry out environmental and social audits to court the consumer, and even the bluest chips woo organisations such as Greenpeace and Amnesty.

In fact, the converse is true: At a time when the United States has been called on for a level of moral leadership, vision and inspiration not seen since World War II, we cannot afford to dissemble about crimes against humanity.
