"Making art feel free, without being free, is the history of media. Radio, television, newspapers, magazines – almost all take a loss on distribution.

Failure to acknowledge the customer’s supremacy will prove poisonous to a global entertainment economy now dependent on hooking the world’s appetite for style and its sponsors. "
