Are there challenges? Absolutely. But in aggregate, this is a very strong and valuable company.

The heart and soul of the company is creativity and innovation.

I had worked at Disney since they bought the company that I had worked for, ABC in the mid-90s.

It's not about how much you make: it's about how good the quality is. You'll be better off as a company making fewer things and concentrating on those and how you bring those to market... in a very less cluttered way, even though the marketplace is more cluttered.

I have tremendous brand experience. What I do a lot for Disney is manage the great brands of this company, whether it's Disney, ESPN, ABC, Pixar, Marvel, 'Star Wars.' And I'm very engaged in technology and its impact on the consumer, either what experience you deliver for them or how to market and sell to them.

I'm privileged and grateful to lead The Walt Disney Company and our talented, dedicated team at this exciting time.
