If the Starbucks secret is a smile when you get your latte... ours is that the Web site adapts to the individual's taste.

We are seeing the beginning of things. Web 2.0 is broadband. Web 3.0 is 10 gigabits a second.

If the Starbucks secret is a smile when you get your latte... ours is that the Web site adapts to the individual's taste.

At Netflix, we think you have to build a sense of responsibility where people care about the enterprise. Hard work, like long hours at the office, doesn't matter as much to us. We care about great work.

Broadcast TV is like the landline of 20 years ago.

How much has it been your experience that Americans follow what happens in the world?

I don't know of any Internet service that opens on a regional basis.

I founded Netflix. I've built it steadily over 12 years now, first with DVD becoming profitable in 2002, a head-to-head ferocious battle with Blockbuster and evolving the company toward streaming.

I hate the photo shoots. I hate all that stuff.

I think there will be 20 years of evolution from linear broadcast to internet television.

I watch mostly independent films.

I'm an HBO subscriber, and I watch a bunch of great shows on HBO.

I've worked very hard, but my life's always been fun.

In 20 years from now we will all be able to click and watch TV.

In fact, technology has been the story of human progress from as long back as we know. In 100 years people will look back on now and say, 'That was the Internet Age.' And computers will be seen as a mere ingredient to the Internet Age.

In hindsight, I slid into arrogance based upon past success.

In the U.S., HBO is a very aggressive service.

Most companies that are great at something - like AOL dialup or Borders bookstores - do not become great at new things people want (streaming for us) because they are afraid to hurt their initial business.

Most entrepreneurial ideas will sound crazy, stupid and uneconomic, and then they'll turn out to be right.

On the Internet you get continuous innovation, so every year the streams are a little better.

So much of the downstream revenue is linked to that initial excitement, to how much revenue is produced in the domestic box office. For example, what we pay for a film three years later is highly correlated to how well it did in the box office.

Stone Age. Bronze Age. Iron Age. We define entire epics of humanity by the technology they use.

The Costa Rican government is prioritizing laying fiber optic over paving roads. Costa Rica is trying to become one of the Internet societies. This is happening throughout the world.

There is a revolution happening, and within two years I think that Wi-Fi and Netflix will be built into all the televisions.

We have a very wide range of content, but the brand-newest movies, what's happening with those is a $30 pay-per-view option - not from Netflix but from DirecTV and others - of movies that are in the theater.

Well, we're about 24 million subscribers today, and that's up from about 15 million a year ago, so it's a very high rate of growth, and that's what's exciting about the business - more and more people are getting smart TVs, they're watching Netflix on their iPads.

When we think about online learning, it's such 'early days.' Bill Gates is a wildly smart insightful guy. Yet, even a guy as smart and insightful as that, 30 years ago can say things like, 'Who's every going to need more than 640K of memory?'

The best managers figure out how to get great outcomes by setting the appropriate context, rather than by trying to control their people.

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.

To be able to throw one's self away for the sake of a moment, to be able to sacrifice years for a woman's smile - that is happiness.

Let me smile with the wise, and feed with the rich.

I love to smile.

I'd much rather have sat there and just been a fly on the wall, instead of having to smile at people. I'd rather have been a waitress. Just gone round and stared at people.

We tried to set up a company that patterned ourselves after Southwest in all the fun, the spirit, the great people, the smile, the efficiency side of it, but we've added some extras that people aren't used to finding on Southwest.

A stale article, if you dip it in a good, warm, sunny smile, will go off better than a fresh one that you've scowled upon.

When Fortune smiles, I smile to think how quickly she will frown.

When life takes me on a new journey, I simply remember the smile my first ballet recital put on my face and I move forward.

We may smile at these matters, but they are melancholy illustrations.

As long as you smile, have sparkly eyes and stick your shoulders back, nobody's going to notice your bum or your waist or your feet, for that matter.

His smile is like the silver plate on a coffin.

I want to touch the heart of the world and make it smile.

Love is when you shed a tear and still want him, it's when he ignores you and you still love him, it's when he loves another girl but you still smile and say I'm happy for you, when all you really do is cry.

And the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.

The weaker the country, the stronger the smile.

I will know how to hold you just by the look in your eye, I will never forget - not even on the day that I die. This is a promise of my passion for you, smile at me and make it true.

No one is so completely disenchanted with the world, or knows it so thoroughly, or is so utterly disgusted with it, that when it begins to smile upon him he does not become partially reconciled to it.

A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside.

He taught me never to smile, which helps me when I visit disaster sites.

She felt like a chess player who, by the clever handling of his pieces, sees the game taking the course intended. Her eyes were bright and tender with a smile as they glanced up into his; and her lips looked hungry for the kiss which they invited.
