James Packer quotes about
exercise band lap
I do 90 minutes of exercise a day, and obviously I have the lap band... (it's) about being fitter, happier and more active.' But he admitted: 'I'm an idiot. I (still) smoke and do all those things I shouldn't do.
past thinking australia
I got plenty of guesses wrong on things in the past as well. I don't want to pretend I have some great insight... But when the global financial crisis came along in 2008 it was scary times if you were in the middle of building $5 billion buildings. It wasn't perfect... I think that I am the luckiest person in Australia.
father rage revealing
I am here to tell you my father was right. You are a raging f..kwit. Now f..k off.
media lag dollars
The history of media is the market share of advertising dollars has followed.. albeit with a lag.
crazy media hands
You can say on one hand the market is crazy but it's not 1999. People have had their medicine from overexuberance. I find it really interesting that those two businesses, Yahoo! and Google, which are just online advertising businesses, are valued at more than the media behemoths in America.

I'm a great believer in new technology and I think new technology is very scary for newspaper companies.

Marry me. You can have all the money and credit cards you want, and the glory of being Mrs Packer, but you've got to let me do what I want.
business perfect world
In a perfect world we don't want to be overly dependent on any single asset or be so dependent on the cycle or where one asset is the bulk of this company.
father mirrors years
If I sat back and decided to sell the product of my father and my grandfather's work, like a leech, you know I wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror... I want to be able to look at my father in 10 years' time and say, 'I'm proud of you, and you should be proud of me.'
