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

I happen to know a bit about banking.

Banking technology has made it simple and efficient to invest in good causes.

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.

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.

People think when you have a, quote, 'bank failure,' that that is the end of the bank. And it isn't necessarily.

Banks are there to support businesses that have justifiable needs.

Forget about banks that are too big to fail; the focus should be on cities, municipalities and countries that are too big to fail.

Banks will have to win the confidence of their customers through fair dealing, making good loans, and remaining financially healthy.

If you're just interested in the prestige of banking, that's not what's going to sustain you. You have to be interested in what we do: managing and originating capital, helping issuers and investors come together is great, bringing these companies to life.
