When you start something new, you can be sure that the first few years will be full of failures and disappointments.

I have great admiration for the way the Americans do business. They drive a hard bargain, but once they do it, they stick to their contracts.

I don't enjoy doing the daily stuff... but I would love to do something like the series that I did on 'Change India.' That was not just news. The programme was based in public policy, so that kind of influences change.

I believe journalism or news will migrate to the online medium.
