Surround yourself with the best people and then get out of their way. Give them a chance to exceed your expectations and they usually will.

I remember when cable happened and everyone said broadcast was dead, and then satellite happened and everyone said cable was dead, and then DVDs happened and everyone said everything was over. Nothing was over. I'm very optimistic about the future.

I really moved through my career based on curiosity about something. I never looked at a title and said, 'I want that.'

Television has always been something you watch; now, increasingly, it is also something you do.

While I was in college, I became a page at ABC. Suddenly I was working for Good Morning America, local news, national news. The page is the lowest rung of the ladder, and it's the also the place where you can ask any question and not feel dumb.

I am deeply honored that my team is being recognized by H.S.H. Prince Albert II and the Festival de Television de Monte-Carlo for Disney/ABC's role in creating television that inspires and captivates audiences wherever they live.

The greatest gifts you can give your team: clarity, communication, and pulling people together around a shared mission.
