I've been collecting photos for a long time, I mean since I started making money. But what you have had to go through to find a good photo is like a needle in the haystack sometimes. You'll drive from one gallery to the next gallery to the next gallery. It's not an easy process. It's a very ancient model that just hasn't caught up with the times.

The new independent spirit at Warner Music is a perfect fit for a stand-alone label like Maverick.

I am an Israeli-born American citizen.

I'm a huge fan of Geffen records. Everything about them - their artists, their videos, their marketing.

The labels are in a jam. For a company to do well in music now, it's got to be in all aspects of the business. And Live Nation is the risk-taker. It's leading the charge.

One of the things that I've learned working with Madonna is you just move forward. It's really rare that she ever brings up the past.
