“It's all about excess. The party, the island, the apartment, it had to be the best.”

“I was a CEO of a large company and I was paid a lot of money, and I think that a lot of people are in a similar circumstance, and that's not a crime.”

“I was piggish. I was a glutton. I was a hog.”

“I'm not a guy who plays by the rules.”

“I was wrongly convicted.”

“You can do the right thing for the wrong reason, and you can do the wrong thing for the right reason.”

“I blame myself. I live with that.”

“Don't confuse your ego with your paycheck.”

“Most of what I did was absolutely in line with what every other CEO was doing.”

“I am not the poster boy for greed.”
