Bob Iger Quotations

I began as a weatherman and I learned very quickly I wasn't very good at it.

Digital piracy needs to be addressed. Without content protection, investment in content can't be supported. We need secure distribution. If you (telecommunications equipment and software makers) help us, we will make it easier for you to distribute our content.

I drive myself to and from work. I love the privacy.

If we give people the ability to buy a lot more because they can store a lot more, for a company that creates TV shows and movies, that's fantastic.

Netflix, Amazon, iTunes - whatever platforms emerge - we are looking at as having the same potential that home video had for the movie business. Which means there are entirely new opportunities to monetize our capital investment in content and do so in ways that work for distributors, for consumers and for creators.

I think it is important for people who are given leadership roles to assume that role immediately.

I have a fondness for jazz, particularly for jazz singers, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald all the way through the Sinatra era.

I ride a bike and use aerobic equipment twice a week, and work out with a trainer, lifting weights.

I started off wanting very much to be a newscaster.

I had worked at Disney since they bought the company that I had worked for, ABC in the mid-90s.
