More quotes by Rupert Murdoch
I did not come all this way not to interfere
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
I felt that it's best just to be as transparent as possible.
Rupert Murdoch
We're not a manufacturer, or an airline, but we do use energy. Printing and publishing newspapers, producing films and television programs, operating 24-hour newsrooms. It all adds carbon to the atmosphere.
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
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.
Rupert Murdoch
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.
Rupert Murdoch
The reality is that we've seen the last of any serious price wars for a long time. I don't think any of the others could afford it, certainly not on a long-term basis.
Rupert Murdoch
I have never asked a prime minister for anything.
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
[Falling pound] makes us more competitive.
Rupert Murdoch
I'm not an economist and we all know economists were created to make weather forecasters look good.
Rupert Murdoch
Monopoly is a terrible thing, till you have it.
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
Look, the whole world wants to modernize, and when you look to what they mean by modernizing, they mean Americanize. Would a modern Greek prefer to live in Orange County than Piraeus? Yes. Absolutely.
Rupert Murdoch
I have to admit that, until recently, I was somewhat wary of the (global) warming debate. I believe it is now our responsibility to take the lead on this issue.
Rupert Murdoch
If you want to judge my thinking, look at The Sun.
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
[on Brexit] It's time for change. I just hope the right people give the right leadership.
Rupert Murdoch
One thing I resent is the slur that I just support political candidates because of the business.
Rupert Murdoch
