Every one who has taken a shower has had an idea. It's the person who gets out of the shower, dries off and does something about it that makes a difference.

Everybody believes in innovation until they see it. Then they think, 'Oh, no; that'll never work. It's too different.'

In 1980, Atari was bringing in around two billion dollars in revenue and Chuck E. Cheese's some five hundred million. I still didn't feel too bad that I had turned down a one-third ownership of Apple - although I was beginning to think it might turn out to be a mistake.

I think 'Something Ventured' is a nice piece because it celebrates venture capital in a unique and powerful way.

In the early days of the video game business, everybody played. The question is, what happened? My theory - and I think it's pretty well borne out - is that in the '80s, games got gory, and that lost the women. And then they got complex, and that lost the casual gamer.

I think in terms of businesses, in terms of things that are really big and marry technology with entertainment. That's where I like to spend my time.
