I think we've been an agent for change, everywhere, and I think change frightens people. They're going nicely in what seems like a settled industry, and someone comes in and says "I can do this better. It doesn't matter how nice that other one is." That's one of the distinguishing points of our acquisitions.

I think you have a danger of regulating, putting regulations in place which will mean there will be no press in 10 years to regulate.

While we reduce our own carbon footprint we will encourage the companies who truck our DVDs and newspapers, sell us paper, and provide an enormous range of products and services to all contribute.
Rupert Murdoch -
Is there any other industry [than the press] in this country which seeks to presume so completely to give the customer what he does not want?
Rupert Murdoch -
Our reputation is more important than the last hundred million dollars.
Rupert Murdoch -
I would like to be remembered, if I am remembered at all, as being a catalyst for change in the world, change for good.
Rupert Murdoch -
The world is changing very fast. Big will not beat small anymore. It will be the fast beating the slow.

Becoming carbon neutral is only the beginning. The climate problem will not be solved by one company reducing its emissions to zero, and it won't be solved by one government acting alone. The climate problem will not be solved without mass participation by the general public in countries around the globe.

I've always been more interested in the content of our newspapers, political positions day to day, the thrill of communicating with people through words that I am in the pure business aspects.
Rupert Murdoch -
Most newspaper companies still have their heads in the sand, but other media companies are aggressive.
Rupert Murdoch -
It's a libel to say that I use my newspapers to support my other business interests. The fact is, I haven't got any other business interests.
Rupert Murdoch -
I'm a strange mixture of my mother's curiosity; my father, who grew up the son of the manse in a Presbyterian family, who had a tremendous sense of duty and responsibility; and my mother's father, who was always in trouble with gambling debts.
Rupert Murdoch -
As with all politically lead governments, foreign investment is the slowest in the media section. Politicians are somewhat paranoid about the media but we still think it's worthwhile.
Rupert Murdoch -
Size and synergies between the different segments of the company matter. As far as we are concerned, the Internet is broadening our opportunity, as well as for other big media companies with huge resources in sports, entertainment and news. There's just more opportunity.

One thing I resent is the slur that I just support political candidates because of the business.
Rupert Murdoch -
Maybe most Moslems peaceful, but until they recognize and destroy their growing jihadist cancer they must be held responsible.
Rupert Murdoch -
Successful workers will be those who embrace a lifetime of learning. Those who don't will be left behind.
Rupert Murdoch -
I've operated and launched newspapers all over the world.
Rupert Murdoch -
All forms of government ultimately are not going to succeed in trying to control or censor the Internet.
Rupert Murdoch -
I'm considered homophobic and crazy about these things and old fashioned. But I think that the family - father, mother, children - is fundamental to our civilisation.
Rupert Murdoch
-
Don't let's lose sight of what creates wealth. It is open markets, it is capitalism.
Rupert Murdoch -
The buck stops with the guy who signs the checks.
Rupert Murdoch -
Monopoly is a terrible thing, till you have it.
Rupert Murdoch -
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.
