The indictment, in a lot of ways, that was the turning point.

I think we had made some tremendous progress in the six months before I left.

Are the things that now, in retrospect, with what I've seen happen to my company, would I have done some things differently? I think - I think we all would do - we would do a number of things differently.

I thought the stock was a great buy. I think anybody that bought the stock in 1999 was - saw over the next couple of years a strong growth. During the year of 1999, I significantly increased my ownership of shares in the company.

We were building a - what I thought was a fantastic company. We had great people. We were changing - we were changing the way the marketplace operated. We were creating a market for natural gas and electricity that had never existed before.

Well, as we built the business in the 1990's, as I said, I enjoyed that.

Was I believer in Enron Corporation? Yes, sir, I was.

We built that into a wholesale business that became, really, one of the largest companies in the United States. We had success in building new markets, opening markets for competition, and that takes a personal toll.

I sold some shares, but on a net basis, significantly increased my ownership.

In the fall of the year 2000, there just happened to be a decision point when they asked me to become Chief Executive Officer of the company. It was a time when, as you remember, we were starting to have some real problems in the California energy markets.

Well, actually, I had been working as a consultant to former companies of Enron, or predecessor companies of Enron and, so, I joined in 1990 to really start our wholesale merchant business.

Larry, I spent probably most of my professional life helping to build Enron Corporation. I don't think there was anyone that was as shocked by the - by the collapse of the company as I was.

The indictment, in a lot of ways, that was the turning point.

It was a very difficult 10 years of very hard work.

All communities have a right to clean water. The taxpayers of Pueblo should not have to carry the burden of the clean up cost simply because they live downstream.

Covetousness which is idolatry.

Being a Christian, I'm eager to introduce people to Jesus. I just don't think I should do it in the science classroom.

Be good to people, be kind to people, show up, read the lines, hit the mark, and go home.

It was perfect, but perfection is terrifying.

When I can 10 or 11, my mom was the one out there catching passes for me. She was my prime receiver.

I like to get wild.

Information is not knowledge, and knowledge is not wisdom. Reading - even browsing - an old book can yield sustenance denied by a database search. Patience is a virtue, gluttony a sin.

Who wouldn't want to go back home to play?

And I think belief is one of those things that comes to people in their own way. And just because I believe in something doesn't mean I think that you should.

I learned that I suffered from bipolar II disorder, a less serious variant of bipolar I, which was once known as manic depression. The information was naturally frightening; up to 1 in 5 people with bipolar disorder will commit suicide, and rates may even be higher for those suffering from bipolar II.

Kids aren't political, but around 10 years old, they are beginning to develop the moral grounding that might later, in their teens, develop into their first real political perspectives.

The only people who like change are wet babies.

Our actions are express image of our thoughts.

You have to rely on whatever sparks you have inside.

Countries aren't built by boring people.

What's really exciting for me is communicating to other people and not just going somewhere to make a movie. That's Hollywood to me and it would mean nothing.

Someone has to stand up and speak for the freedoms of the little guy.

To myself, mountains are the beginning and the end of all natural scenery; in them, and in the forms of inferior landscape that lead to them, my affections are wholly bound up.

Chess is intellectual gymnastics.

An environmentalist can oppose factory farming because it's reckless stewardship. A conservative can oppose factory farming because it is destructive to small farmers and to the decent ethic of husbandry those farmers live by. A religious person can oppose factory farming because it is degrading to both man and animal - an offense to God.

I am inspired by the lives of good and faithful women. From the beginning of time, the Lord has placed significant trust in them.

I met my wife in Bombay at an official function. And then we courted for three years. That's a great old term, 'courting.'
