I get really frustrated during a crisis when I go through all the cable channels and find - very often with the exception of CNN - that I'm not watching news at all. You think, 'Well, God... there are talk shows, talk shows, talk shows and everyone is an expert!'

You will see a 3-D movie in a movie theater for the shared experience of it – or for a date, and so on. You don’t all sit at home getting your entertainment in a vacuum.

I left the golden age of documentaries to go into the golden days of the ‘CBS Evening News.’ You could see that the audiences were eroding.

I was very short. Everybody else was two years older in my class, and I had curly hair and was teacher’s pet.

Japan can’t get anything on the market very cheaply because it has a large, relatively highly paid workforce which you can’t fire.

No other content company has Sony’s intuitive grasp of technology and no other company has Sony’s intimate understanding of the demands of content.

The hardest thing about being at Sony was not the travel; it was being divorced from the public and private life I had in New York. Travelling as much as I did, while I didn’t lose connection with my friends, I lost a sense of belonging.

Content and technology are strange bed fellows. We are joined together. Sometimes we misunderstand each other. But isn’t that after all the definition of marriage?

The loyalty within Sony is quite extraordinary, and that's a remarkable thing. Some of that has to be sustained because it's part of the Sony spirit.

I have to determine whether the joy of craplets is worth preserving.
