The typical output deal from a studio is 10 to 14 movies a year.

The U.K. has been very progressive about on-demand, and the iPlayer has been a great invention. It has trained a generation of viewers to expect on-demand - unfortunately, it trains them to expect free!

From Ted Sarandos

We try to guide with a light touch. Sometimes we can be helpful, and my goal with my team, both on the series side and on the film side, is that the collaboration should always be invited. In other words, we're not looking to impose our view on the filmmaker; we hire a storyteller because we love the story, and we love their ability to tell it.

From Ted Sarandos

I love, personally, the experience of going to the theater, going to the cinema.

From Ted Sarandos

On Friday night, if you want to go out on a date with your wife or your girlfriend, nothing on Netflix competes with that, right? Because you're getting out; that's what you're doing. If you don't want to put your shoes on, nothing in the cinema competes with the worst thing on Netflix.

From Ted Sarandos

There's not a lot of really great, deep, serialized television, and we can see from the data that that's what people want.

From Ted Sarandos

What if you could radically alter the way stories get told? What if the way people wanted to consume content actually changed what you could make?

From Ted Sarandos

Networks can typically invest tens of millions of dollars in the development of a pilot. And if they put the show on the air and it fails, that's all lost money. There's no monetization of a broken series.

From Ted Sarandos

David Fincher's work has all been incredibly well-received on Netflix, and Kevin Spacey's films have all worked on Netflix.

From Ted Sarandos

More and more what we're licensing, we're licensing on a global basis - even though the studios aren't orchestrated to sell that way yet, my bet is that they will.
