Netflix is a lifesaver.
'Instagram' is a media company. I think we're about visual media. I explain ourselves as a disruptive entertainment platform that enables communication through visual media. I don't think it's just photos.
A platform is the base from which something big happens. In our case, we're an entertainment platform in the sense that there are people signing up like MTV, Burberry, folks like Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber. And why? Because it's their channel to control their entertainment to their fans.
When combining the elements on the Total Guide Solution, we believe we are positioning it to be the starting point for consumers to discover and enjoy digital entertainment on their television. And our name changed to Rovi embodied the ability to be that homepage for consumer search through the TV.
Our brand at Netflix is really focused on movies and TV shows.
We founded RocketJump for two reasons: to provide quality entertainment and to reach as many different audiences as possible.
When we launched Hulu, everybody was saying, 'Oh, this is going to be a substitute for pay TV in the living room.'
Our platform is a one-stop shop, from marketing and promotion through to ticketing. But even in the early days, in 2006-07, when we were mostly carrying shortform video, we became the premier movie marketing platform.
I used to be a big 'Star Search' fan. I think it's great people who have a music dream have a place to showcase their talent.
I don't see a difference between the big screen and the small one. We are entertainers, and the medium doesn't matter.
Who could have imagined that a platform like - I'll use Netflix as a example - that it could be so good?
At the end of the day, television is an entertainment platform and we are here to entertain the masses.
Anything you need, you can get on YouTube. It's wacky.
Instagram is a media company. I think we're about visual media. I explain ourselves as a disruptive entertainment platform that enables communication through visual media. I don't think it's just photos. There's a reason we don't allow you to upload photos on the Web as albums. It's not about taking all these photos off your DSLR putting them into an album and sharing them with your family. It's not about that. It's about what are you up to right now out in the real world, how can you share that with everyone.
Netflix is distributed in 50 countries around the world. It's an incredibly affordable, well-distributed product that gives anyone with access to the Internet and a screen access to content in a very affordable way.
Hulu is about the shows, not the networks. The shows are the brands that users care about.
Let's be honest, Netflix has stepped up its game up. It seems to have a lot more of an assortment of stuff.
To see how YouTube has become part of pop culture, it's been just amazing.
I was actually thinking about starting like an app where you can watch videos of me carrying Daniel [Radcliffe in Swiss Army Man].
I love WWE, and I love that platform. There is no other platform in the world that gives me that instant gratification. There is just no other platform.
Theatre has a strong connect with the audience and gratifies me as an actor, but the canvas of films is huge!
