Authenticity is really important, and sometimes thats really hard to get.

When I got fired, I had a feeling of loss because Viacom had been a passionate long-term relationship. But I got my balance back. I guess its like getting jilted by a girlfriend, a serious girlfriend. You move on.

Sometimes I just like the feeling of being a minority and seeing how far you can push yourself in extreme circumstances.

If you look at the Internet, it's been hard for a lot of the traditional media companies to launch viable brands.

I measure success in terms of the connection with the audience, which we've been able to do in spades. I mean, it's very hard to do that. You think about it, you go back in time, you can say, "Well, there's, like, 'Saturday Night Live' and 'Rolling Stone' or MTV." I think 'Vice' is in that category now.

Only true love can fuel the hard work that awaits you.

Innovation is taking two things that already exist and putting them together in a new way.
