I think two people with strong points of view can appreciate each other even more.

The reality is, is that we love competition, at Apple. We think it makes us all better. But we want people to invent their own stuff.

Apple has a culture of excellence that is, I think, so unique and so special. I'm not going to witness or permit the change of it.

Companies that get confused, that think their goal is revenue or stock price or something. You have to focus on the things that lead to those.

I'm speaking to you from Silicon Valley, where some of the most prominent and successful companies have built their businesses by lulling their customers into complacency about their personal information. They're gobbling up everything they can learn about you and trying to monetize it. We think that's wrong. And it's not the kind of company that Apple wants to be.

I don't really think anything Microsoft does puts pressure on Apple.

I don't think Apple has to own a content business.

No matter what you do next, the world needs your energy, your passion, your impatience for progress. Don't shrink from risk. And tune out those critics and cynics. History rarely yields to one person, but think, and never forget, what happens when it does. That can be you. That should be you. That must be you.

The reality of today from a cyber security point of view - I think some of the top people predict that the next big war is fought on cyber security.
