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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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