Rupert Murdoch

I'm a very private person, despite my public life.

I think the future of media is digital.

I'm not afraid to fail.

I'm a globalist.

I believe in strong leadership.

I've always been drawn to controversy.

If you want to judge my thinking, look at the Sun.

I'm a curious person who is interested in the great issues of the day and I'm not good at holding my tongue.

I'm not disowning it or saying it wasn't my responsibility, but I was always closer to the Sun.

I think that's an overstatement.

I was jealous of the Daily Telegraph … I'm disappointed that the editor of the Times didn't buy them when were offered them first.

I don't think he [Gordon Brown] was in a very balanced state of mind.

I think there were just a bunch of women, mainly complaining about their husbands probably.

Don't take my tweets so seriously. I think I was saying the extremists from both sides were piling in on me.

I understand that Mr MacKenzie said I gave him a terrible blocking … I did indeed give him a hell of a blocking.

If there were personal attacks on Mr Kinnock, I would apologise for that.

We are perhaps the only independent newspaper in this business.

I doubt it very much. He surely is above talking to the press proprietor about his foreign relations.

I wish to say now that was one more mistake of mine. It was clearly wrong.

Who's he?
