respect reverence traditions
I have a deep respect for the fundamentals of television, the traditions of it, even, but I don't have any reverence for it.
I don't want to kill windowing; I want to restore choice and options.
sports
I don't think on-demand brings anything extra to sports.
sports
I don't know that on-demand sports is remarkably better than live sports.
films incredibly kevin work worked
David Fincher's work has all been incredibly well-received on Netflix, and Kevin Spacey's films have all worked on Netflix.
french projects
A lot of our animation projects are co-productions with French production companies.
breathing execution good life love
I always love that phrase, 'Oh, this is a good idea, but it's execution dependent.' As if anything in life is not execution dependent. Breathing is execution-dependent.
watched
Netflix has always had this interesting ability to get non-mainstream content to be watched by the mainstream.
amazing cannot experience films home presented replicate seeing videos watching
There are films like 'Interstellar' where you cannot replicate the experience of seeing it in IMAX - it's an amazing film presented in a spectacular way. It really is an experience, like going to Disneyland, and you can't replicate that by watching home videos of going to Disneyland.
business complete consumers last season
Our value proposition to consumers is so much more about completeness than freshness. Having the complete season is so much more valuable, in our business model, than having last night's episode.
events happen linear sports
I think what's going to happen with linear television is it's going to become more linear. It's going to become more about events and more about award shows, live sports - all those things that, really, you can't replicate.
consumers great networks source studios
I think being a partner with the studios and networks and, more importantly, being a great source for consumers to watch that programming is always going to be a part of our programming mix.
diverse high launch launching means meant netflix original season shows tastes weeks
I think we can launch - successfully, high quality - around 20 original scripted shows a year, which means every 2 1/2 to three weeks you're launching a new season or a new show on Netflix meant to be for really diverse tastes all around the world.
bit devices easy environment head high highly huge stream variable variety work
I think that we've got a huge head start on things that are not easy to do: progressive streaming, to be able to stream in very high quality, even in an environment of highly variable bit rate, and to work on a big variety of devices seamlessly.
