Take the job or the project that scares you a little. It's the one with the most to teach you.

Art has been good for my soul. And it's been good for my brain. I think I'm a better painter now than I was a musician growing up. You struggle to see things and translate an image through your hands to a canvas.

I think the greatest thing we give each other is encouragement...knowing that I'm talking to someone in this mentoring relationship who's interested in the big idea here is very, very important to me. I think if it were just about helping me get to the next step, it would be a heck of a lot less interesting.

The more opportunities people have to experience television on different platforms, the more television they consume overall. So there actually has been a benefit, but the ratings have gone down. But we've seen kind of the horizontal benefit of this. And it remains a great, great promotion engine.
Anne Sweeney
I think the must-have power qualities for a female or male power leader are really the ability to focus, to work hard, to be extremely goal oriented and to not let the noise and the nonsense interfere with your mission - what you really feel you want to do with your career and your life.
Anne Sweeney
I look at power as the ability to get people motivated and to get them to do things that maybe they don't think are important but, in the end, are in pursuit of something greater than themselves.
Anne Sweeney
My theme song is always: Pay attention to your viewer. Follow them.
Anne Sweeney
A good leader should focus on making sure everyone is being given the tools to do their job, not just expecting - poof! - that they're going to produce great work.
Anne Sweeney
Before you can make a difference, you have to believe you can.
Anne Sweeney
The greatest gifts you can give your team: clarity, communication, and pulling people together around a shared mission.

If you want to see the future, watch 8 year olds
Anne Sweeney
I really moved through my career based on curiosity about something. I never looked at a title and said, 'I want that.'
Anne Sweeney
I'm naturally curious, and I've always been driven by my curiosity. Curiosity gets people excited. Curiosity leads to new ideas, new jobs, new industries.
