[The split between the former friends is a sign] that professional responsibility as a director trumps personal relationships, ... a positive change.

Because of a greater focus on governance, the resignation of a director certainly has a greater weight attached to it. Boards have greater power. In the past, directors just faded into the sunset.

No director anywhere from this point on would want to put themselves through this kind of ordeal that the directors at Disney just went through for eight years. Now boards realize they must be more independent and circumspect.

I believe I have a personal responsibility to make a positive impact on society.

I sometimes joke that I can take personal responsibility for saving one million human relationships.

No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.
