I'm not a public official. I'm a businessman, I'm a builder, I'm a planner.

I do limit my exposure to the public. You only have so much time.

Fulfilling the vision of the Irvine Ranch master plan has been a lifetime dedication and lifetime passion, and I am hopeful the heritage of our Irvine stewardship will live on in many new ways.

Personally I'm very happy to be behind the scenes. I like collaboration, I like working with directors.

There are severe limitations on civil rights. In the international arena, Iran is turning into an isolated country, and the international community is becoming more hostile toward it.
