When the famous American bank robber Willie Sutton was asked why he concentrated on banks, he is said to have answered: "Because that's where the money is."
"Said" to have answered is correct: I've read his biography--he writes he never said that, that that's what (paraphrasing here) other people said he said.

It's always as well to put in "said to". You can never be too sure!
