The world is changing very fast. Big will not beat small anymore. It will be the fast beating the slow.
In motivating people, you've got to engage their minds and their hearts. I motivate people, I hope, by example - and perhaps by excitement, by having productive ideas to make others feel involved.
Great journalism will always attract readers. The words, pictures and graphics that are the stuff of journalism have to be brilliantly packaged; they must feed the mind and move the heart.
I'm not an economist and we all know economists were created to make weather forecasters look good.
I think a newspaper should be provocative, stir 'em up, but you can't do that on television. It's just not on.
I don't mind what people say about me. I've never read a book about myself.
I would like to be remembered, if I am remembered at all, as being a catalyst for change in the world, change for good.

People who watch 'Fox News,' you may say, and this is anecdotal, but they are passionate about it. In the most unlikely places, like down in Soho where I used to live, people would come up to me and thank me for it. People I didn't know from a bar of soap. People appreciate that at least they're being heard. It is much more watchable.
No one's going to be able to operate without a grounding in the basic sciences. Language would be helpful, although English is becoming increasingly international. And travel. You have to have a global attitude.
