When you live in America, it's kind of insular - the news coverage that you get - unless you're really smart about it and find more international news coverage.

I see the level of sophistication and knowledge about business growing dramatically. Several decades ago, only a few companies thought about international business.

Put simply, my vision for AOL is to build the largest and most sophisticated global advertising network while we grow the size and engagement of our worldwide audience.

People selling content internationally need to be highly focused on selling the right product to the right buyer. If things don't succeed on a particular network, they're not going to stay on very long.

Let me let you in on a little secret. There is no such thing as an international community. There are self-maximizing, self-interested states that will push their interests as far as possible.

Media organizations are global. They may be based in the U.S., but they're essentially global.

I think, from a standpoint of editorial, you know, AOL historically has played in a very deep way across many different verticals in the content space. Huffington Post adds a very large new dimension to that.

Video just accesses international information so much more readily.

I think I'm a focus for international attention.

The business is so international now; you'll be working on an American film, and you'll start chatting to someone, and it's like: 'Oh, you're English, too.'
