I interned at NBC News and had a great experience there in both New York City and Washington. After graduating, I got an entry-level production job at PBS in Boston. There, I developed the bug for programming and production.

What someone does when viewing content on a tablet is different than the lean-back mentality of watching on the big screen.

Owning content and original content has been our lifeblood - we've never been a suite of brands that's been reliant on a movie library or on rented series from other networks.

I am here to tell you, TV is not dead. Rather, it is constantly evolving as we are. My view is that we are in the next Golden Age of content. If AOL, Google, Netflix, Amazon, and Yahoo felt TV was dying, they would not be so eager to play in our sandbox. It is, after all, TV content that's driving their business.

It's easy for the board to say, 'Well, add makeover shows.' The No. 1 show for women in the United States is 'The Walking Dead.' That's not a makeover show.

My heart has always been in programming and marketing.

My focus - even before becoming CEO - has always been memorable and unique content. And one of the most important things we did to reinforce that was create A+E Studios.

I think people take for granted the success of the original content at A&E Networks and in building brands. People have selective memory on how long that takes.

The best advice I give to young people starting out is choose your boss. Regardless of gender, I think it is important to have someone who supports you and lets you take risks without fear of failure.

We love the Vice guys; we believe in them. We're investors. We believe in them, in the creative work that they've done... What they built is incredible.

A+E has always looked in places where others didn't want to look. There's a service in that.

I think we all have to ask ourselves, as leaders, do we have the right processes in place for complaints to be filed and for people to feel protected?

It's my job... to push people out of their comfort zones. But we got to have a reason to do it. We don't do it gratuitously.

Writing a check is easy. The opportunity for real change happens when there's a person who comes to you with real passion to create a movement.

If you look at the coverage of female sports and athletics across any of the broadcasters that participate in league rights and/or sports programming, women are underrepresented, and it's a chance and an opportunity for Lifetime to support that movement and the importance of athletics and competition for girls and women.

Lifetime never had any unscripted shows, really. It just had 'Project Runway,' which was a bit of an island.

As a global media company, A+E Networks continually seeks to create new and exciting content that will attract audiences today, tomorrow, and beyond. By investing in Vice, we are thrilled about our potential to further deliver content that meets the demands of the latest consumption trends.

Veterans' issues have always spoken to me.

I would love to see more swings in areas that we haven't explored. I can't necessarily tell you what that is - I think you know it when you see it - but I think we've had a lot of the same-themed shows in broadcast, but those shows are still performing.

I'm a big believer in picking your boss, not the job. Great people create great jobs.

I love it when a man knows his place - right, ladies?

To effect meaningful change, you have to look at who's in the boardrooms, who has the financial control of businesses, and who has the greenlighting power.

My interests were more extracurricular, more external, and more social than they were academic. My birthday is also in December, so I was one of the older kids. That meant I learned social leadership early on. I was always just much better in a team and work environment than I was in a classroom environment.

One of the epidemics in our industry is the abuse of power.
