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

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.

But the most important thing is, Enron did not cause the California crisis.

People are treating the Stewart case as seriously as Enron when it's really over trivia.

Ken Lay has, does and will continue to accept responsibility for the fall of Enron. He was the man at the controls. But failure is not a crime.

But indeed a market like California is not good for Enron.

The collapse of Enron was devastating to tens of thousands of people and shook the public's confidence in corporate America.

I take full responsibility for what happened at Enron. But saying that, I know in my mind that I did nothing criminal.

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

I think that the failures of Enron and WorldCom and other companies are partially failures of investors to recognize companies that are selling for a thousand times nothing, but chances are they may be worth only that.

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.

Because the sad fact is that the Enron Corporation and others manipulated with unfortunately great effect the energy market in the West Coast starting in 2000.

Bush began helping Enron in the eighties.

You know Texas is - even more now that Enron has bit the dust - it's held up on the back of small businesses.

In the case of Enron, we balance our positions all the time.

We will not rest until the wooden stake is punched through the heart of the Enron lawsuit against us.

I like doing business in a black city.

When you're 14, 15, and you get together and start making a noise, it is the world opening up. You have that indestructible feeling when you're young. But your ambitions when you are 13 are different when you're 25. By that time, your ambition isn't to be a star anymore; it's to make a living doing music.

One of the great virtues, apart from the pleasure of performing these works, is that it's opened up an entirely new, expansive repertoire of American Jewish music.

My brother Jim and I spent many wonderful summers working on dairy farms in Wisconsin owned by Mom's cousins, and as members of our local Boy Scout troop.

I have four to five months, tops, per year to give to my acting work.

I hear, I know. I see, I remember. I do, I understand.

Hurricane season routinely strikes the Caribbean harder than the U.S.

A lot of actors think they can't be happy without the acting... But I think I couldn't be happy with it anymore.

The mission of Patrick Henry College was to attract and cultivate academic stars from the ranks of home-schooled evangelicals, then send them off on graduation day to 'shape the culture and take back the nation,' in the words of a common home-schooling rallying cry.

I carried on acting during school holidays and was all set to go to drama school when I was offered my first professional job appearing in 'King David' with Richard Gere.

It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by by helping others to succeed.

In those days, between the ages of 12 and 18 you meant nothing. You were the extra place at the side table if someone came to dinner. You were of no interest to anyone.

'Election' made zero money at the box office, but it started my career.

I love being home at Christmastime.

Governments regard their own citizens as their main enemy, and they have to be - protect themselves. That's why you have state secret laws. Citizens are not supposed to know what their government is doing to them.

The fringed curtains of thine eye advance And say what thou seest yond.

Every bride is beautiful. Its like newborn babies or puppies. They cant help it.

When you become a celebrity, the world owns you and your image.

I do not believe 'Newsweek' is the only catcher in the rye between democracy and ignorance, but I think we're one of them, and I don't think there are that many on the edge of that cliff.

I love being creative. I love acting, but I also love directing because you get to have a vision for the whole and bring that vision to fruition.
