Barry Diller Quotations

I never thought I was a very good manager.

What I've learned over the years is that focus and singular purpose is the best approach for businesses.

I've always said AOL is great opportunity for somebody.

We want to be able to sell you anything, anywhere, any time you want it.

I like businesses in transition, first of all. If ever there were a business in transition, it is publishing.

I don't want to set the world up for surprises.

I absolutely believe the Internet is passing from its free days into a paid system. Inevitably, I promise you, it will be paid.

Hollywood is a community that's so inbred, it's a wonder the children have any teeth.

This is a world in which reasons are made up because reality is too painful.

The world is changing. Networks without a specific branding strategy will be killed. I envision a world of highly niched services and tightly run companies without room for all the overhead the established networks carry.
