I don't want to talk politics, but what I do say is I believe in rules and laws, and if you come to this country, you've got to abide by the rules here.

A law is a law, and it has to be respected.

A country's adhering to the rule of law does not mean that its citizens will not do bad things.

I have used the laws of this country just like the greatest people that you read about every day in business have used the laws of this country, the chapter laws, to do a great job for my company, for myself, for my employees, for my family, et cetera.

A law is not a law without coercion behind it.

I think we are realizing that we are going to have to have an international rule of law.

Some laws are wrong, and we have an obligation to speak out against those laws wherever they are.

I had been brought up in the law and had this sort of instinct that international law operates and was there to protect principles and not to be the plaything of power and might - which I now know, of course, to be an absolute nonsense. International law should be spelled l-o-r-e.

When you're taking the country through difficult times and difficult decisions you've got to take the country with you. That means permanently trying to make the argument that what you're doing is fair and seen to be fair.
