Identify what all the issues are and when you find them don’t hide from them.

Keeping it simple for the consumer is incredibly dire.

Are there challenges? Absolutely. But in aggregate, this is a very strong and valuable company.

For us to grow globally, it’s not enough to just be an exporter. We have to be a creator.

I don’t get described as necessarily being aggressive. I don’t know if ‘laid-back’ is the word. I think, if anything, what I would want people to say about me is, ‘I think he had guts.’

I won’t speak for the entertainment industry. I speak for Disney. I’ve seen people in the industry come to work every morning paranoid about what the other person or other company is doing. That means you’re spending time and focus on somebody else’s business instead of your own.

Bob Iger

I’ve certainly had a number of failures along the way depending on my own instincts and creativity, some fairly celebrated, at least during their time.

Bob Iger

It’s not that I’m a daredevil. But I’m just generally not a fearful person. I don’t conduct my life worrying about what could happen, what may happen.
