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

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.

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

The Internet is a powerful way to make lots of money... But we are not going to buy Yahoo!

We don't think that someone who effectuates creative suicide and costs the company revenue should be on the lot.
