Banking is a very treacherous business because you don't realize it is risky until it is too late. It is like calm waters that deliver huge storms.

Banking's a sexy industry! Creative - it's dynamic, it's global, it's fast-moving, you bring a lot of talented people together!

The fundamental problem with banks is what it's always been: they're in the business of banking, and banking, whether plain vanilla or incredibly sophisticated, is inherently risky.

As much as the banking system may not be terribly popular, it is an essential part of the economy.

Banking gives you a glimpse into what makes companies succeed and what makes companies fail.

I have nothing against investment banking, but it's like massaging money rather than creating money.

People with banking experience haven't all flocked to the biggest banks; community banks and regional banks, along with smaller trading houses and credit unions, have some very talented people.

At its core, banking is not simply about profit, but about personal relationships.

I hate banks. They do nothing positive for anybody except take care of themselves. They're first in with their fees and first out when there's trouble.

I like banks because they keep my money safe, but I don't want to talk about banks 12 times a year.
