Any time there's a scandal, we always try and get involved.

Sometimes the scandal is not what law was broken, but what the law allows.

I know reform is never easy. But I know reform is right.

Until someone is prepared to lay out the systemic problem, we will simply go through cycles of finding corruption, finding a scapegoat, eliminating the scapegoat, and relaxing until we find the next scandal.

I started knitting in the Congress, and it was a scandal - like, big scandal.

It is what makes the reform process an art, not just a science. You have to develop a strategy that tells you what reform measures you should follow and in what sequence.

In our view, successful reform is not an event. It is a sustainable process that will build on its own successes - a virtuous cycle of change.

Every reform, however necessary, will by weak minds be carried to an excess, that itself will need reforming.

Like all of my colleagues, I believe financial reform is necessary now.
