So long as I can stay mentally alert – inquiring, curious – I want to keep going. I love my wife and my children, but I don’t want to sit around at home with them. We go on safaris and things like that. I can do that for a couple of weeks a year. I’m just not ready to stop, to die.
I feel that people I trusted – I don’t know who, on what level – have let me down, and I think they have behaved disgracefully, and it’s for them to pay. And I think, frankly, that I’m the best person to see it through.
I’ve operated and launched newspapers all over the world.

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.

Don’t let’s lose sight of what creates wealth. It is open markets, it is capitalism.
Content is not just king, it is the emperor of all things electronic.
I have never asked a prime minister for anything.
Keith Olbermann is trying to make a business out of destroying Bill O’Reilly. He’s done certain things to Bill O’Reilly that I believe were way over the line. I think that’s bad behavior. But it’s okay for him to criticize Bill. And Bill shouldn’t be so sensitive. He should ignore that.
I did not come all this way not to interfere.
People are reading news for free on the web, that’s got to change.
Why would I spend $5 billion for something in order to wreck it?
We must have sweeping, generous immigration reform, make existing law- abiding Hispanics welcome. Most are hard working family people.
We’ve got to get rid of the fear of failure in this country. In America, people start things, fail and shake themselves down and start things again. The animal spirit of capitalism is stronger there.
