It's a good time to be in the content business though, the branded content business.

Working hard to fulfill a dream or instinct and learning over time it doesn't work, doesn't mean a career is over and a reputation killed. When a reputation is killed, it's when failure comes as a result of loss of integrity or judgement... breaking of laws.

I have tremendous brand experience. What I do a lot for Disney is manage the great brands of this company, whether it's Disney, ESPN, ABC, Pixar, Marvel, 'Star Wars.' And I'm very engaged in technology and its impact on the consumer, either what experience you deliver for them or how to market and sell to them.

You can't allow tradition to get in the way of innovation. There's a need to respect the past, but it's a mistake to revere your past.

Success can breed all kinds of other behavior and cause companies to behave a certain way that isn't necessarily the ingredients for achieving more success. For instance, with success comes arrogance, and that's typically the death of success.

There is no science in creativity. If you don't give yourself room to fail, you won't innovate.

I'm committed to increasing long-term value for shareholders and am confident we will continue to do so through the successful execution of our core strategic priorities: the creation of high quality, branded content and experiences, the use of technology, and creating growth in numerous and exciting international markets.

What I've really learned over time is that optimism is a very, very important part of leadership.

I think it is important for people who are given leadership roles to assume that role immediately.

If someone comes to you with, 'It's my kid's graduation,' you don't tell them, 'Sorry, you can't go to that.' You just don't do that. You figure out some other way.

Even though I started off being interested in news, and I spent 13 years of my career working in television sports, I always was passionate about television and movies.
