The chief executive is doing an excellent job and the board are extraordinarily supportive of him.

If the members say this contract is fine and they want it, it's fine with the executive board. We're not here to create a fight. We only want what is really fair for the company to give,

Don't blame the marketing department. The buck stops with the chief executive.

I think (Quaker Chief Executive Robert) Morrison did the best job he could for Quaker Oats shareholders. It took a while, but you can't blame him for courting Coca-Cola.

I was the chief executive once, I've been there. My recommendation to anybody is don't go backwards.

I accept that responsibility and ask only that I be judged by my performance as its chief executive.
