Peter Kaplan was a giant.

I don't have time to date.

I own 'The New York Observer.'

I grew up, a kid in New Jersey.

Browseability is the key online.

Every Observer writer wants to be a novelist.

Every 'Observer' writer wants to be a novelist.

My father's favorite movie was 'The Dirty Dozen.'

Peter Kaplan was a partner, a mentor, and a friend.

I was raised to work for my father when I was four.

I think Jared [Kushner] is an unusually polished person.

I know I've done good things, I know I've done bad things.

The goal is to do things that are exciting and respectable.

People are always alert to any change and skeptical by nature.

Age is a convenient barometer of what a person is capable of, but it is only one.

I ran my own business when I was 19, buying condos and renovating apartment buildings.

Growing up, around the dinner table my father and I didn't talk sports. We talked business.

The N.Y.C. tech scene is vibrant, and Betabeat will be a great vehicle to cover it in depth.

I have major sleeping problems. I'd rather be up thinking about things than actually sleeping.

Politicians often say to me, 'Articles in the 'Observer' don't get me votes, but you get me money.'

It's easier to build a business around a first-class product, even if it's a more expensive product to produce.

New York City is the most important location in the world... it is the center for fashion, culture and finance.

I love my father, but I have worked to develop a separate and distinct identity in different projects I have worked on.

People who live in SoHo want to be close to the energy, culture, and eccentricities of New York's most charming neighborhoods.

My father always told me, 'Don't waste energy worrying about things you can't control. Spend your energy focusing on solutions'.

When I think back kind of on starting my career, the last place I thought I would be would be spending a lot of time in Brooklyn.

People are hysterical about the death of newspapers, and I would say, 'They're not dying; they're just kind of reinventing themselves.'

When I bought 'The New York Observer,' my experience in journalism was limited to a single article I had written for a college magazine.

You have to understand the separation between what exists in the print media and what exists in reality. It's important to never lose track of reality.

In this day and age, much of journalism is about right or left, conservative or liberal, and 'The Observer' is just that: an observer. It is about truth.

[Charles ] Kushner engaged in a conspiracy, with co-conspirators, to hire prostitutes to entice witnesses who were cooperating with the federal investigation.

I think, as everyone knows, Charles Kushner is one of the most successful businessmen in the United States and one of the great philanthropists of this century.

The only things that are really permanent are love, family, friendship, and that is a lesson. At the end of the day, that's really what it boils down to. The rest of it is just stuff.

I always thought, 'Will I go into the business, or will I not go into the business?' But when my father got arrested, I really didn't have a choice. I was the oldest son, and it was something that had to be done.

I've heard so many stories of Jared [Kushner] being groomed from a very young age - really, from from when he was a child - to be playing a prominent role in the business world, in sort of the elite world - in elite circles.

I'm definitely scared about newspapers. The problem is nobody wants to catch a falling knife, and nobody knows where things will stabilise. The value of newspapers has dropped significantly. I think we still have more pain to be felt.

'The Observer's Very Short List' is another example of how the Observer Media Group offers its readers the most cutting-edge information, available in a variety of platforms and written by an editorial staff known for its distinctive and discerning style and wit.
