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.

More quotes by Rupert Murdoch
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
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.
Rupert Murdoch
I did not come all this way not to interfere
Rupert Murdoch
Most newspaper companies still have their heads in the sand, but other media companies are aggressive.
Rupert Murdoch
I think a newspaper should be provocative, stir 'em up, but you can't do that on television. It's just not on.
Rupert Murdoch
Some of our businesses use more energy than others, but our strategy everywhere is the same... first, reduce our use of energy as much as possible. Then, switch to renewable sources of power where it makes economic sense... And, over time, as a last resort, offset the emissions we can't avoid.
Rupert Murdoch
I felt that it's best just to be as transparent as possible.
Rupert Murdoch
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
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
I've operated and launched newspapers all over the world.
Rupert Murdoch
One thing I resent is the slur that I just support political candidates because of the business.
Rupert Murdoch
We need to push ourselves to make as many reductions as possible in our own energy use first - and that takes time. But we must do this quickly - the climate will not wait for us.
Rupert Murdoch
There is so much media now with the Internet and people, and so easy and so cheap to start a newspaper or start a magazine, there's just millions of voices and people want to be heard.
Rupert Murdoch
Don't let's lose sight of what creates wealth. It is open markets, it is capitalism.
Rupert Murdoch
Climate change and energy use are global problems - News Corp is a global company. Our operations affect the environment all over the world.
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.
Rupert Murdoch
We have no intention of failing. The only question is how great a success we'll have.
Rupert Murdoch
Somebody talked me into writing an autobiography about six or seven years ago. And I said I'd try. We talked into a tape recorder, and after a couple of months, I said, To hell with it. I was so depressed. It was like saying, 'This is the end.' I was more interested in what the hell was coming the next day or the next week.
Rupert Murdoch
Endemic is a very hard, a very wide ranging word. I also have to be very careful not to prejudice the course of justice that is taking place now.
Rupert Murdoch
I'm not an economist and we all know economists were created to make weather forecasters look good.
Rupert Murdoch
