Personal Quote:

I don't 'handle' people. It's so much easier to manipulate actors than to really have an earnest discussion with them. It's very easy to say whatever's going to appease them and then turn around and do whatever you want to do. It's difficult to be forthright with people, because the job does not lend itself to that.

Started a career on Wall Street, at Bears Stearns, in the 1980s. He then quit and even considered becoming a New York City fireman. See more »
