I believe you should have a world where you've got to license something at a fair price.

Steve Jobs didn't really set the direction of my Apple I and Apple II designs but he did the more important part of turning them into a product that would change the world. I don't deny that.

I wish to God that Apple and Google were partners in the future.

Try to think of new ways to solve the old problems. Very often we look at something we have and say, “I could make it better.′ That’s innovation.

I acquired a central ability that was to help me through my entire career: patience. I’m serious. Patience is usually so underrated. I mean, for all these projects, from third grade all the way to eighth grade, I just learned things gradually, figuring out how to put electronic devices together without so much as cracking a book... I learned to not worry so much about the outcome, but to concentrate on the step I was on and to try to do it as perfectly as I could when I was doing it.

And thanks to all those science projects, I acquired a central ability that was to help me through my entire career: patience.

I just was non-political and didn’t see myself as a person who could push people around, make their decision and tell them how lousy their work was.

But I know newspapers. They have the first amendment and they can tell any lie knowing it’s a lie and they’re protected if the person’s famous or it’s a company.

I think Apple’s revenge is just the fact that Windows, you know, PCs all became Macintoshes in a way.

I had designed -in high school designed hundreds and hundreds of computers over and over and over, so I developed these skills without ever thinking I’d do it in life as job.
