Murdoch's Mint

When asked about his sucession strategy, Murdoch said: "I want to live forever."

On Bill O'Reilly: "I think he gives both sides of the story."

On fund-raising for U.S. presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton: "Some people in the office wanted it, so I said, 'Fine, we'll do a breakfast.' "

On the film business: "I'm very optimistic. You go to an electronics show these days and there are more platforms, more and more ways to see movies. We just want to get paid."

On Borat: "I've seen it three times. I laughed like hell at it. I don't think it has destroyed our culture."

On YouTube's commercial strategy: "If you interrupt it with commercials, people will go someplace else pretty quickly."

On entering the Broadband market in the U.K., through BskyB: "The appeal of the triple-play, or quad play, is going to be hard to compete with. But we've already signed up more people than anybody else." (See BSkyB Gets Googly, BSkyB Unveils Strategy, and Murdoch's Sky Takes on BT).

Is there anything left for the media mogul to master?
