All our clients know that we're there, we're steady, we do a good job, we earn a fair return for ourselves, which I think is critical.

I hate the word universal, because I don't know exactly what it means. The question is, does it work for the client? Travelers was a diversified, financial conglomerate that did very well. The businesses had nothing to do with each other.

It's great that people get together and collaborate, talk about the facts and the analysis, all in the interest of having a great financial system.

JP Morgan always has higher capital liquidity, that is partially to make up for mistakes and problems and obviously its a tough economy. We support an oversight committee, we supported some of the compensation, new compensation rules, though we already follow most of them. We support a lot of it.

I believe it's a good thing that people say, Can we find a way to live together in peace? And they did, for the most part.

The third arrow (of structural reform) is critically important. Japan has some of the best companies in the world, and if you look at their technology, their capability, it's extraordinary.

If you went to all those little towns in America, JPMorgan was there in good times and bad times, and, in fact, helped a lot of people through the tough times. And we know that's when they need us the most.

We've accommodated the new rules and regulations. We've served our clients and had quite good returns.

And if you're going to be a leader, you know what I ask myself? Would I want to work for you in this job? Would I let my children work for you? Would I give you this job if I wasn't there to provide oversight? If you went to run another company, would I, as an investor, invest in that company?

I also believe that most of the emerging economies have a fairly large amount of foreign exchange reserves, relative to 10 years ago.

I am still a Democrat. The main reason is because I don't like the Republican stance on some social values. Not that I disagree with all of them. I just don't think they have a right to impose it upon other people. I've been public about that.

I don't think that [normalization] necessarily is going to damage the emerging economies.

It's good for America when the rest of the world grows, because you can sell more to the rest of the world.

You've seen certain credit type products that are going to be in nonbanks, like sophisticated CLO [collateralized loan obligation] tranches and stuff where the capital charge is so high that a bank simply will not own it. Someone will buy it, hedge it, trade it. But it won't typically be a bank.

We invested in the downturn and we never stopped serving our clients.

My operating assumption is we will always have very tough competition. And even with some European banks struggling right now, some of them can reemerge - and maybe even stronger.

India is a huge democracy. Prime Minister [Narendra] Modi has ambitions to try to fix the infrastructure, the rules, taxes, education, and to lift up the Indian people. And we're hopeful that that's going to create positive momentum.

I think the politics have gotten better in the United States, which makes it easier to pass legislation, budgets and treaties.
