I know I'm intellectually capable of finding a series of things and making hundreds of millions. I have to get there and do it. Carefully. Legally.

I did this within a philosophical framework, and a moral and legal framework. And I have been turned into a cartoon of the greatest villain in the history of lobbying.

Words will not be able to ever express how sorry I am for this, and I have profound regret and sorrow for the multitude of mistakes and harm I have caused.

It's very difficult for felons to live in society.

Access is vital in lobbying. If you can't get in your door, you can't make your case.

If you make the choice to serve the public, public service, then serve the public, not yourself.

As a result, I've been portrayed as a cynical barbarian preying on the very clients I was charged to defend.

Well, I think the great tragedy in American politics is what is legal, not what is illegal.

In Hollywood, they put the knife in your front; in D.C., they put it in your back. I found far fewer duplicitous people in Hollywood.

In my religion it's actually better to know you're doing wrong and try to improve that wrong than to think philosophically that what you're doing is right and in fact it is wrong.

If I read the articles about me, and I didn't know me, I would think I was Satan.

I always have my own opinion before my boss says his.

In the end one loves one's desire and not what is desired.

And I did a movie called Basil with Jared Leto and Christian Slater.

I made some jokes about weed, got some laughs, made some more jokes, got some more laughs; next thing you know, I'm telling a lot of jokes about it.

I live for the nights that I can't remember with the people that I won't forget.

I want to change as many lives as I can, I want to help as many people as I can and I want to let people know that serving and doing for people is not outdated and certainly not overrated!

I think there must have been some other girl printed somewhere in his heart, for he was a man of love and his wife was not a woman to show her feelings.

When I left, it was for you. Coming back was for you. There’s nothing you can say, nothing you can do that would make me leave you again.

Part of why I love Greek food so much is that it is simple, but it's unpretentious. It's authentic.

I hurl my heart to halt his pace.
