thinking ideas people
I find that no matter how long a meeting goes on, the best ideas always come during the final five minutes, when people drop their guard and I ask them what they really think.
thinking past growing
I think when you get inured with the past, you get committed to the past, you stop growing.
kissing years television
If you make something good, eventually the audience will be there, eventually there will be something on the Internet that is a cultural phenomenon that's not available anywhere else, that's not available on television broadcasts, that's not on cable, it's only on some Web site. And the world will find it. And when that happens, it will be what the 'kiss' was to the theatrical movie business, 5,000 years ago or whenever it was.
goes-on television firsts
Television is very much like the motion picture; you need high-end product that will first go on broadcast or cable and eventually on the Internet, and then the lifespan of this content being distributed worldwide.
failure succeed
You can't succeed unless you've got failure, especially creatively.
shoes levels pairs
I find that, once you get into a position where you can afford a pair of shoes and a decent level of living, success in itself is empty.
doe models products
You just have to make sure the model you're working on does not undersell your product.
strong thinking years
Many people you think are individual achievers in fact have either a strong spousal partner over many years or a business partner who's either in the background, not given enough publicity or less egocentric.
thinking genius lines
There's a fine line between what would characterize you as a troglodyte and what would characterize you as a brilliant, avant-garde, forward-thinking genius. There's some middle ground.
meaningful thinking achievement
I don't think individual achievement in business is the most meaningful way for it to operate,
running school mba
I'm not sure I was a typical head of a company. Most people that run big companies come out of sales and they come out of marketing and they're quite serious and they have MBA's from very good schools and things like that. I'm an accidental CEO, thank the Disney Company.
queens kings choices
Content has always driven the business. Now it's no longer the queen to a king of distribution; it is the king, king, king, because the consumer has complete choice.
fear-of-failure possibility conditions
Fear of failure is a far worse condition than failure itself, because it kills off possibilities.
ideas innovation kaizen
There's no good idea that cannot be improved on.
