Quotable
“…each of the players that are chasing that ball, that are doing scripted series and scripted movies, they’re chasing IP and none of them have enough… All of them are looking over and saying, ‘I need more. Who has great differentiated content.’ So, all of them are talking to us, saying, ‘Can I have some of your stuff?’ And we are saying, for now, we’re going to keep our stuff… we think that we could generate our own assets. And we think in the long-term owning that quality content globally ourselves unencumbered — and that’s a big differentiation.
