Opportunity does not knock. You have to find it

Success is not built on success. It's built on failure. It's built on frustration. Sometimes its built on catastrophe.

The information superhighway is a dirt road that won't be paved over until 2025.

In order to succeed, you have to live dangerously.. as long as the danger is rationally accepted and as long as the rewards far outweigh the risk.

When I lose my marbles which is never, when I lose my energy, I travel the world today for Viacom, China, Turkey, Dubai, Kuwait. When that happens, I'll know enough to retire, but that's never gonna happen. I'm here for forever.

Viacoms results for the first quarter put the company on a fast track for another record year in 2004.

At the time we acquired Viacom, everyone said I had overpaid. But even at today's depressed prices, that investment is worth billions. Everyone was saying MTV was a fad. I knew better.
