“You can be technically correct and completely unethical.”

“Greed is a powerful motivator. It can cloud your judgment. It can make you do things you would never normally do.”

“There are people who look at the rules and find ways to structure around them. The more complex the rules, the more opportunity.”

“I believe I was extremely greedy and that I lost my moral compass.”

“Within the rules, there's a lot of mischief you can get into.”

“I did it for the glory, for the praise, for the money.”

“I knew what I was doing was wrong. I thought I was being a hero for Enron. I thought I was protecting the company.”

“The question I should have asked is not 'what is the rule?' but 'what is the principle?'”

“I was the CFO of Enron. I was highly compensated. I was on the fast track. I was a rising star... But I was also a crook.”

“The problem is not that there are a bunch of evil people. The problem is that there are a bunch of people who are not asking the right questions.”

“I'm not an expert in ethics, but I'm an expert in the consequences of unethical behavior.”
