04 / belief

“I think there was a timing component, that I always had great timing in my career.”
07 / belief
“I think what’s happened is that, as the nature of both load and generation has changed over time, you’re starting to see more discrepancies in pricing across regions.”
08 / belief
“I think next-gen nuclear, if we can overcome the technical hurdles, if we can overcome the economic hurdles.”
09 / belief
“There are so many different types of philanthropies and theories of giving and types of giving that one can do that, I think, you have to find something that suits your own personal passions and your own personal strengths and traits, and go from there.”

12 / belief
“There’s the flip side of it, which is best represented by the Benin bronzes, where a British expedition in 1897 comes in and conquers the royal palace in Benin and steals all those objects and brings them back to Europe. I think there’s still this struggle in the West of how to deal with these.”

21 / evaluation

22 / belief
“I think overrated. If you didn’t have the de Kooning name on it, and it was just an object, people would look at it and would say, “Yes, it’s somewhat interesting, but we’re not going to ascribe the same certainly, valuation, but art historical importance to it.”
23 / belief

“I think there’re real questions about how should endowments, including private foundations, which is this legacy of power because money was made in the past or money was contributed to an organization in the past, the tax code then gives favorable treatment to that.”
29 / evaluation
“I think the collection Laura and I have built has really tried to look at the history of art and especially figuration over time.”

31 / prediction
“You have to be confident in order to say the market is wrong, and I’m right, that other people are wrong, because I think efficient market hypothesis is fairly true.”
32 / evaluation
“We started this whole line of work about what we called scientific integrity, academic integrity on how do you improve the process and the incentive system of academic research because there was this realization we had that everybody in the chain was incentivized to find the positive result, whether it was the funder, the academic, the university, the journal, or the popular press.”
33 / preference

But I think what was different about Enron versus the more mature investment banks was, Enron was growing so quickly and the industry was growing so quickly that if you showed any modicum of talent or ability to take responsibility, you would either get promoted or you get hired away by another firm that was trying to copy the Enron business model.”
35 / preference
“Our kids, I think, would prefer the messy house and would prefer things not to feel like you can’t touch them.”
36 / evaluation
“You have these little pockets of Hispanic neighborhoods and Black neighborhoods and White neighborhoods, but it’s more of a checkerboard throughout the city, and I think the city is better for it.”
