“I’d learned enough about circuitry in high school electronics to know how to drive a TV and get it to draw – shapes of characters and things.”

You need the kind of objectivity that makes you forget everything you’ve heard, clear the table, and do a factual study like a scientist would.

Bill Gates did predict that computers for people made sense because he wrote a basic.

It’s just not right that so many things don’t work when they should. I don’t think that will change for a long time.

I was born to teach. I have always had this gift with children.

Most inventors and engineers I’ve met are like me. They’re shy and they live in their heads. The very best of them are artists. And artists work best alone.

When we first started with Apple computers, it was my dream that everyone would learn to program, and that was how they’d use their computer.

His statement was, “We’re going to the same place, except you’re taking a taxi, and I’m driving my own car.” That’s me and Ian MacKaye’s relationship. I love him, he’s great.

I always check my harness before I do a stunt; I test-drive the cars I have to race or explode.

It drives me nuts how I rely on my wife for everything. I can’t imagine a day without her!

My chief job is to constantly stir or rekindle the curiosity of people that gets driven out by bureaucracy and formal schooling systems.

I think that if you’re just a good person, you work hard, you say “yes,” and you are driven.

Better take the keys and drive forever. Staying won’t put these futures back together.
