Jack Abramoff
Class envy is dangerous.
Jack Abramoff
I can't afford to be a member of a golf course.
Jack Abramoff
I'm capable of making $44 million. I know I'm intellectually capable of finding a series of things and making hundreds of millions. I have to get there and do it. Carefully. Legally.
Jack Abramoff
Having gone through what I went through, watching my family be torn to shreds and my children suffer immensely, I can't be the agent of doing that to someone else. I can't be the agent of causing someone to go to prison.
Jack Abramoff
I mean, money is a tool.
Jack Abramoff
All I want is for people not to see me as this cartoon monster.

Access is vital in lobbying. If you can't get in your door, you can't make your case.
Jack Abramoff
As a lobbyist, I was completely against term limits, and I know a lot of people are against term limits, and I was one of the leaders, because why? As a lobbyist, once you buy a congressional office, you don't have to re-buy that office in six years, right?

Jack Abramoff
I did this within a philosophical framework, and a moral and legal framework. And I have been turned into a cartoon of the greatest villain in the history of lobbying.
Jack Abramoff
Everybody's a complex person. Everybody. Everybody's nuanced.
Jack Abramoff
In my religion it's actually better to know you're doing wrong and try to improve that wrong than to think philosophically that what you're doing is right and in fact it is wrong.
Jack Abramoff
Being somebody who wants to be religious doesn't make me perfect and doesn't make me necessarily any better than anybody else. It maybe makes me better than I would have been if I didn't have that level.
Jack Abramoff
They realize that spending millions to save billions is just good business.
Jack Abramoff
A senator will come off Capitol Hill and they'll be barred from two years from lobbying in the Senate. So they'll pick the phone up and they'll call their buddy, the senator, their old buddies, and they'll say, 'Listen, I'm here at this law firm now. I can't lobby you, but my new partner, Jack, can lobby you.'
Jack Abramoff
One of my personality defects, perhaps, is that I'm rather ADD, and I work on a bunch of things at once.
Jack Abramoff
If you make the choice to serve the public, public service, then serve the public, not yourself.
Jack Abramoff
