I will believe in the 500-channel world only when I see it.

I love Viacom. I love CBS. And so I don't want to die. I have a will to live. The same will to win that I've always had. And — I'm gonna fight death as long as I can. I like it here. I don't want to go anywhere else.

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

One doesn't accept bad challenges. Part of it is always the risk-taking without seeing that the risks are rational and the rewards are commensurate.. are more than commensurate.. with the risks.

I've always had that obsessive will to win and a commitment to excellence.

Great success is built on failure, frustration, even catastrophe.

The explosion was good. It sent a message to the rest of the world that the time of the big star getting all this money is over. And it is! I would like to think that what I did, or what we did, has had a salutary effect on the rest of the industry.
