Sony CEO Howard Stringer sits down for a length Q&A with BusinessWeek, in which he reveals almost nothing of any surprise, but a few well-timed quips.
- On the exploding battery boo-boo: "I knew we had to apologize, and I was willing to. People kept saying, 'You can't bow because it's not really at your level.' I desperately wanted to bow anywhere, in the railway station, anywhere."
- On Blu-ray vs. HD DVD: "We have a sort of stalemate at the moment. We have four studios, and they have two or three studios [signed on for the format]. It's a difficult fight"
- On his post-Sony plans: "God, sink giggling into the sea, I think. I have no interest in being a CEO again if I survive this intact, which in itself will be something of a miracle."
