“The only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work”

I sat in a garage and invented the future.

It’s better to be a pirate than to join the Navy.

The mark of an innovative company is not only that it comes up with new ideas first, but also that it knows how to leapfrog when it finds itself behind.

You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.

None of us are as creative as all of us.

Without passion, any rational person would give up!

It’s really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don’t know what they want until you show it to them.

If you keep your eye on the profit, you’re going to skimp on the product. But if you focus on making really great products, then the profits will follow.

Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.

People don’t know what they want until you show it to them. That’s why I never rely on marketing research. Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page.

I don’t think of my life as a career. I do stuff. I respond to stuff. That’s not a career – it’s a life!

I’m as proud of what we don’t do as I am of what we do.

Stay hungry, stay foolish.

Creativity comes from spontaneous meetings, from random discussions.

We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas.

Scientist believe in things, not in person.

I’ve always stood on my own two. I don’t need a team. I don’t do the entourage thing, 30 people. I don’t do that. That’s just not me.

I really believe that you have to earn things. I don’t feel comfortable unless I have worked really hard.

I don’t fear God- I fear His believers.

I have died many times. I have actually beaten Jesus Christ because he only died once.

I don’t really believe in the type of pressure that people are wanting to put on the type of music that I make.

I believe we are all connected to other people. I am connected to people who are suffering. We all are.

Work for what you believe in, but pick your battles, and don’t burn your bridges.
