I'm very happy that the New York Times has spoken well of my stuff; who wouldn't be? But it's not a choice I made.

My comrades would call me a 'black capitalist.'

Ever since I've become chairman, there have been profiles of me in People, George, The Washington Post, The Detroit News, and all of them could have been written by the same person.

I wouldn't characterize my work, however, as directly political.

I'm not exactly the best capitalist ever.

My mother, for the last 20 years anyway, would not call herself a Marxist but a human rights activist.

I don't think we should view corporations as people for the purposes of speech.

This sounds like my autobiography, but I thought this would be a good time to sound off about myself, as I think that I have been silent too long about my views and opinions.

If people want to talk about anything I do, they can give it any name they want. As long as they're talking about it, I think it's great.
