“I think cable has been under-appreciated for its contribution to society.”

“What unfortunately happens is we have about... 350 million interactions with consumers a year, between phone calls and truck calls. It may be over 400 million, and that doesn't count any online interactions, which I think is over a billion. You get one-tenth of one-percent bad experience, that's a lot of people - unacceptable.”

“If you drop a channel, you're incredibly unpopular, and if you pass along a rate increase, you're incredibly unpopular.”

“Ideally, in the future, you'll just pay your cable company for the stream, which you'll be able to watch and manipulate through whatever means on whatever devices you like.”

“Obviously with the onset of cable and satellite, there are more opportunities for programming and original programming, so it creates more opportunities for actors and producers and directors and everything.”

“Cable is a niche business. If you can own a niche, that can be a very strong business.”
