I'm a catalyst for change. You can't be an outsider and be successful over 30 years without leaving a certain amount of scar tissue around the place.
Rupert Murdoch

People are reading news for free on the web, that's got to change.

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
Image
I try to keep in touch with the details... I also look at the product daily. That doesn't mean you interfere, but it's important occasionally to show the ability to be involved. It shows you understand what's happening.

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.

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
Image
All forms of government ultimately are not going to succeed in trying to control or censor the Internet.
Rupert Murdoch
Image
I've operated and launched newspapers all over the world.
Rupert Murdoch
Image
I think the important thing is that there be plenty of newspapers, with plenty of different people controlling them, so that there are a variety of viewpoints, so there is a choice for the public. This is the freedom of the press that is needed.
Rupert Murdoch
Image
I'm not a knee-jerk conservative. I passionately believe in free markets and less government, but not to the point of being a libertarian.
Rupert Murdoch
Image
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
Image
One thing I resent is the slur that I just support political candidates because of the business.
Rupert Murdoch
Image
No one's going to be able to operate without a grounding in the basic sciences. Language would be helpful, although English is becoming increasingly international. And travel. You have to have a global attitude.
Rupert Murdoch
Image
Don't let's lose sight of what creates wealth. It is open markets, it is capitalism.
