Quotable

“On the strike, I’m very focused on it because this is our business, this is all we do. And it’s critically important that everybody, the writers, the directors, the actors, the producers, all the below-the-line crews, everyone needs to be fairly compensated and they need to feel valued and feel that they’re fairly compensated in order to do their best work. We have to focus on getting that done. I’m hopeful that it’s going to happen soon. I think all of us in the business are very keen to figure out a solution as quickly as possible. We are in some uncharted waters in terms of the world as it is today and measuring it all. And so I think in good faith, we all got to fight to get this resolved and it needs to be resolved in a way that the creative community feels fairly compensated and fully valued.”

– Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav on the company’s 2Q23 earnings call discussing the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes
