When you’re a catalyst for change, you make enemies - and I’m proud of the ones I’ve got.

The line frames antagonism as an expected byproduct of disruptive influence. By calling himself a “catalyst for change,” Murdoch casts his actions—implicitly in business, media, or politics—as transformative rather than merely self-interested. “You make enemies” suggests that entrenched interests resist disruption; opposition becomes evidence that meaningful change is occurring. The second clause—“I’m proud of the ones I’ve got”—reverses the usual stigma of having enemies, treating them as a badge of impact and a measure of having challenged powerful or complacent forces. Rhetorically, it is a defiant self-justification: criticism is not refutation but confirmation of effectiveness.
