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

I'm not in the camp that believes that Netflix is going to take over the world...technology makes it impossible to have a monopoly.

People don't like to follow pessimists.

Sometimes I feel like I'm a contestant in a reality show that probably would be called The Apprentice Survivor Millionaire.

Keeping it simple for the consumer is incredibly dire.

Netflix, Amazon, iTunes - whatever platforms emerge - we are looking at as having the same potential that home video had for the movie business. Which means there are entirely new opportunities to monetize our capital investment in content and do so in ways that work for distributors, for consumers and for creators.

I think it is incredibly important to be open and accessible and treat people fairly and look them in the eye and tell them what is on your mind.
