I think the hedge-fund industry has taken a reputational turn for the worse, this dog-eat-dog stuff. I'm not just talking about Herbalife or J. C. Penney, but in other situations where the media really focuses on who's long and who's short. I don't think it's a good thing for the industry.

Investing is a business where you can look very silly for a long period of time before you are proven right.

A film can reach only the places which the distributor has promised you. Several films are not released internationally, and Web has that wide reach.

Ozil is a great distributor and does a lot of running.

Roc was only supposed to be our distributor, but then they ended up recruiting me as the label's artist. They said they really liked my album 'Everything You Wanted.'

We're a content company. And if we create the best content, every distributor will want what we have.
