I consider myself a freedom fighter, fighting for my clients.

Yes, people will pay for the Fox News Channel, despite the fact that the general feeling, one created by the Internet, is that everything should be free.

If we look conservative, it's because the other guys are so far to the left.

There are more conservatives on Fox. But we are not a conservative network.

We didn't have locks in the early 1940s because nobody got into anybody's house, and nobody did anything wrong.

You just don't go out when you're over 55 years of age, have a colossal failure, and expect to find work in your field again.

I don't rise to the occasion when there's no occasion.

I'm a great believer in giving people a chance.

I don't ignore anything. Somebody gets in my face, I get in their face.

If people know you'll go to any lengths for your client, they're less likely to play games with you.

I only understand friendship or scorched earth.

Audiences are shifting. Platforms are shifting. Ages are shifting. It's better to be in charge of change than to have to react to change.

Attacking me and Fox News is nothing new - it's a cottage industry.

'Vanity Fair' is a left-wing rag.

The difference between pros and amateurs is that pros play hurt.

CNN International, Al-Jazeera and BBC are the same in how they report mostly that America is wrong and bad.

I think liberals have a lot of good ideas, actually. But I've been pigeonholed, and I'm quite comfortable with it.

We're losing our freedom of speech. We are losing freedom of religion. We are losing freedom of the press.

I think almost everything in life is life-experience, personality-driven.

Wolf Blitzer is an excellent reporter, but he's not a star.

All business is basically about customers and marketing and making money and capitalism and winning and promoting it and having something someone really wants.

You cannot allow whether someone likes you or not to alter your course of action. Sometimes I think, 'Sure, that hurts my feelings.' But it's not so important that I will adjust what I'm doing because someone is not going to like me.

I can't stand cruel people. And if I see people doing something mean to somebody else just to make themselves feel important, it really gets me mad.

I want clean water and clean air and conservation... that's not what extreme environmentalists are all about. For them, it is a religion. They believe in trees and animals, not God.

Obama's the one who never worked a day in his life. He never earned a penny that wasn't public money. How many fund-raisers does he attend every week? How often does he play basketball and golf? I wish I had that kind of time.

What I think works for Fox News is we have a very direct form of communication.

The NBC News people won't get caught dead on MSNBC.

It would be a lie to say that I don't care what people say about me. Every human being cares unless they're nuts. Am I nuts? But you can't allow that to override your mission.

I have a soft spot for Joe Biden. I like him. But he's dumb as an ashtray.

If you're making money, and you've hit your targets for five years, you don't need to demand a new contract.

I never want to lose. I hate to lose... But Babe Ruth struck out 1,300 times. You can't hit the home run every time you come up to bat.

You never pull the trigger until you know you can win.

I don't have any focus groups on talent and programming. If I need five people in a mall to be paid $40 to tell me how to do my job, I shouldn't do my job.

The reality is, to watch Jon Stewart, you already have to have watched the news. In other words, it's not funny if he does a joke about John McCain and they don't know who John McCain is.

CNN and MSNBC, our primary competitors, are trying to figure out how to beat us. There are some good, smart people at those networks, and even occasionally a blind pig finds an acorn.

I was in the Oval Office when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon because I was called in to coordinate the coverage. I got to thinking, 'We have a feed from the moon. We've got a feed from the Earth. I can set up the first interplanetary shot in history.'

We're not programming to conservatives. We're just not eliminating their point of view.

I go to mass every Sunday, which is a shock to everybody.

I've got a bad leg; I'm a little overweight, so I can't run fast, but I will fight.

Personally, I'm right of center.

There are always people that will rise to the occasion when there is no occasion, but it is hard to find people will do it when there is.

I grew up in the era when Dan Rather hated Richard Nixon. He was a newsman, but you knew what his opinion was.

Fox News Latino will show people how opportunities exist, that whenever we are overregulated, or there is too much government, we lose freedom. We lose power. That is, historically, one hundred percent true.

I hired Sarah Palin because she was hot and got ratings.

I've been an underdog all my life.

Usually, there are three or four major news spikes per year.

Do I take alternative points of view? Yes, because all the media are going in another direction.

I don't remember threatening anybody, ever. I don't like threats. I don't respond well to them, so I don't give them. But I'm not a doormat. I try to meet the appropriate level of communications.

Giving up your core business in search of a phantom audience is not wise.

Fox News has a very-high-income audience, and I think that any business channel automatically draws that. We're not gonna reach for a lower financial demographic.
