I've never commented much about my experience at Enron except to say, when I was there, it was a much more pipeline and asset-oriented company.

I happen to represent Enron here in Houston. We have many good corporate citizens here in Houston. Enron happened to have been one.

Before Enron, I think people were a bit more naive about the way things worked, and I think Enron pulled the curtain back on unsavoury practices that turned out to be a lot more widespread.

We can easily get our lives out of balance.

You know Texas is - even more now that Enron has bit the dust - it's held up on the back of small businesses.

So there's no such thing as work-life balance. There's work, and there's life, and there's no balance.

At IBM, if we kept our same leadership for 36 years, we'd be bankrupt.

You don't want another Enron? Here's your law: If a company, can't explain, in one sentence, what it does... it's illegal.

In a tripartite government with its checks and balances, we have lost the balances.

During the Enron debacle, it was workers who took the pounding, not bankers. Not only did Enron employees lose their jobs, many lost their retirement savings. That's because they were at the bottom of the investing food chain.
