I'm not that interested in just being around powerful people for the sake of it.

There are people who have comfortable relationships with power and people with natural antagonism to power. I think it's easy to guess where I am in that.

Moral power is probably best when it is not used. The less you use it the more you have.

Power is the chance to impose your will within a social context, even when opposed and regardless of the integrity of that chance.

I look at power as the ability to get people motivated and to get them to do things that maybe they don't think are important but, in the end, are in pursuit of something greater than themselves.

Anyone who seeks power wants absolute power.

But the relationship of morality and power is a very subtle one. Because ultimately power without morality is no longer power.
