JA: What was the hardest job you have ever done?
Michael: "Sell a bank that I helped build."
JA: Did you have a mentor or a role model over the course of your career? Who?

Michael: “Never, never give up.”
JA: If you could choose one person, living or dead, to have dinner with, who would it be? Why? Michael: "Winston Churchill. He gave witness to the power of words."
