book entrepreneur guy
I tried to do everything I could to study Walt Disney. I would read every book I could on the company, and then I found out more about him as a person, as an entrepreneur, and it was just fascinating to me that this guy was able to live a great life with his family but also do these amazing things at work.
trying want something-new
CBS was very generous in their offer to re-sign me. But I simply want to try something new.
love valuable consumers
Early access is very valuable, there are a lot of consumers who would love to see something early.
culture impossible sometimes
Cultures are not very easy to change. They're sometimes almost impossible to change.
world way looks
Look at the world around you & imagine it in a better way.
team mean impossible
It is impossible to state in words how much this team means to me, how much Hulu means to me.
guy noodles slippers
I'm not the kind of guy who dabbles in a lot of things.
strong thinking challenges
I think challenge for Facebook is to develop a culture that has the advertiser and the ad service be as strong a part of their culture as the user obsession is.
jobs school months
I took a job at the Walt Disney Company and after 18 months decided to go to business school at Harvard. I was awestruck by the campus. My first reaction was I dont belong here. Then I said, Im here; lets get on with it.
mother growing-up father
My father was an electrical engineer who worked at Westinghouse in Pittsburgh. When I was growing up, my mother wrote humor columns for the local paper. She was the Erma Bombeck of Murrysville, Pa.
digital goods tied
When youre dealing with digital goods, you dont have to be tied to one URL.
believe thinking culture
On the Facebook side, I think it's a bit of an evolution, in that that company, which has clearly done amazing things, was, I believe, as an outsider looking in, was founded on a culture that was obsessive about the users. And they built a service that is very valuable for users, and that is to be applauded.
sleep thinking sight
What I think about is what people spend their time on this planet doing. So No.1 is sleep, No.2 is work, and No.3 is sight, sound, and motion video consumption. Basically, four to five hours a day is what Americans spend consuming video.
bigs
Theres nothing more intoxicating than doing big, bold things.
