The History brand has long been a supporter of not only our troops but organizations that support our troops.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
You can't manage the creative process on a quarterly basis. The way we're structured has really helped us grow.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
In the media business and as a creative executive, if you don't take risks, you're dead in the water. Calculated risk-taking is essential for success.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
I think that the strategy around FYI is really a corporate strategy, and that's that every one of our brands that we invest in have to matter and that we need to commit to building brands and investing in those brands, or we need to get out of that business.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
We have to take a really close look at making sure that we are more surgical and more tailored in dealing with the production community and our producing partners.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
I'm enormously proud that I can do a deal with the National Women's Soccer League to showcase the power and passion of women athletes as positive role models, not only for my daughter but also for my son.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
Taking action against a show because of one individual's behavior could put hundreds of jobs in jeopardy.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
It doesn't make any sense for us to do a scripted series if it's not going to be big, so we have to be really disciplined about them.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
At our core, we are a content company. That content has to be the very best. You can't be a company of this size and be doing what everybody else is doing.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
We've learned that you can't just put your promos up in a digital environment and expect the consumer will accept that as shortform content. It needs to have a unique point of view and style and execution that is tailored to that platform.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
When you look at the increase in the number of scripted series and the number of unscripted hours, the pool of producers hasn't grown at the same rate. So I think there's a bit of a creative tax on the system.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
When I think about too much content out there, one of the things that comes to mind for me is just the volume of really outstanding creators there are.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
TV is our window on the world. It's a powerful medium for great stories that become part of our very, very personal journey.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
Obviously, there needs to be parity. I think as more women get to the top, we need to make sure that is the case. It is our responsibility.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
In the media business and as a creative executive, if you don't take risks, you're dead in the water. Calculated risk taking is essential for success. No one said it was easy.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
Personally, I feel a strong responsibility to make sure that we have women equally represented in our executive suites and that we employ women in front of and behind the camera and in our writers' rooms.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
It's an honor to be the only woman in the room a lot of times, but I wish I weren't the only woman in the room. I still have to think in a calculated way about how to speak and what to speak about.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
I'm a very goal-oriented person, and work is really rewarding. It's how I take care of my family, and ultimately, I'm never going to let that responsibility fall to anybody but myself.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
I'm not a very patient person. I'll take those quick risks to see if it's going to work versus taking the long and tortuous road of trying to guarantee myself that something will work. That's like self-mutilation to me.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
If we can be changing some lives along the way, that's the holy grail on television.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
Both of my grandfathers served in World War II, both in the Pacific. One wouldn't talk about it, and one would.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
A show could be 10 minutes, seven minutes, 94 minutes. We just need to tell the stories that need to be told.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
Great managers recognize that there is no one way to manage. You may have to be 10 different managers to get the best out of your team.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
There are very few black-and-white truths in management or in business, but one that I have found is that people either hire people who are smarter than them, or people hire people they can control.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
I have an innate passion and competitive streak to win and to create, and I want our team to be better than everybody else. Some people thrive in that environment, and some people don't.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
The directness of my mother is clearly in my voice. Her opinion is always a very strong opinion at the dining room table. I think she empowered me to have the same drive.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
We aren't afraid to take creative risks, which is the main ingredient in our recipe for change.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
It never seems like a good idea to do something that's way out there. But usually, the thing that's way out there is where we are heading.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
You had a generation of women, of which I'm part, where it was a stigma to be associated with feminism; there was a backlash. Now you have a generation that is clearly embracing feminism because, at the end of the day, the definition of feminism is just equality.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
A+E Networks has been my home for over a decade. I am so proud of these brands and my A+E colleagues who are truly the best in the business.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
From Abby Lee Miller's intensity and her students' incredible performances to their devoted moms and its high drama, 'Dance Moms' has become one of the most compelling shows on television.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
The beauty of the media business is all about what is next. You put your mistakes behind you. Learn from them and move on to the next project. Having some degree of success is integral to a risk-taking balance.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
Hearst makes smart investments and partnerships across important industries, and HearstLive is the perfect opportunity to highlight the amazing innovations coming out of all of those brands.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
I run a creative company, and the best way to support creatives is to make them fearless and willing to take big swings. That is an important part of our culture at A&E Networks.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
With a strong foundation in scripted programming firmly established by 'Army Wives' and 'Drop Dead Diva,' Lifetime is aggressively expanding its drama series development plate with powerful programs from creative auspices who have strong pedigrees in producing stand-out programming.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
I grew up in Bristol, R.I. I had grandparents and great-grandparents nearby, and because I was the only grandchild until I was 12, I was the center of a lot of adult attention.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
There needs to be a bigger focus on creative innovation versus business models and cash flow.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
Sometimes people get fairly obscure just for the creative license of it, and that can backfire. Iconic stories are iconic for a reason, and there are so many incredible, iconic history stories that have not been told that we don't need to go too deep in the well yet.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
'The Hatfields and McCoys' is a classic tale of American history. These are names that are widely recognized, yet few people know the real story that made them famous.
