“I hate the way people use slide presentations instead of thinking. People would confront a problem by creating a presentation. I wanted them to engage, to hash things out at the table, rather than show a bunch of slides. People who know what they're talking about don't need PowerPoint.”

“Maxim for life: You get treated in life the way you teach people to treat you.”

“I looked the people of Louisiana in the eye and told them exactly what I thought in terms that normal people use.”
