“'Zoo' further demonstrates our commitment to high-quality, year-round programming and to high-concept series that play to summer audiences in the U.S. as well as on a global scale.”
“I was drawn to performing and to storytelling.”
“'Criminal Minds,' our original show, is a phenomenal show, and all elements of that show work so well. I think that 'Suspect Behavior' just didn't click. I don't think it has anything to do with spin-offs. I think a spin-off still has to be successful on its own.”
“That's what my job is: to create quality programming.”
“It's about story; it is a social experiment, and people take that into account when they're watching 'Big Brother.'”
“You have to make your decision based on the content.”
“The audience that watches on Sunday night is upscale, very female, and very engaged.”
“I'm on the board of trustees at Boston University. I'm on the board of trustees at Jewish Family Services.”
“'Survivor' is one of CBS's signature series and symbol of enduring quality and entertainment on prime time television.”
“The original 'CSI' grew stronger once the spinoffs became entrenched. Like any good franchise, when there's a great story to be told, viewers can't get enough.”

“I'm extremely lucky that I've worked for and with amazing people in my life.”
“'The Dovekeepers' is a compelling, beautifully written novel that combines history and fiction into a timeless story of survival and heroism.”
“I come from a long line of Democrats.”
“Accepting fear head-on is freeing.”
“I think the best voices, the most creative voices, and the best content always wins.”
“'The Talk' is one of the most diverse shows in daytime.”
“Nothing runs forever. How you handle it, the most important thing is how you respect your audience, how you respect your cast, and being incredibly sensitive to how you wrap up any show when it ends a successful run.”
“At the end of the day, it is about doing your best work - controlling what you can control and not trying to control what you can't.”
“'Without a Trace' analyzes criminal behavior in the special context of a disappearance. We consider it a suspense thriller.”
