“College just didn’t even have computers for an under-curriculum when I started college.”

Imagination is something you do alone.

My whole life had been designing computers I could never build.

I really believe I know why my designs were better than any other human being, but I don’t want to take credit for starting Apple, for turning the world around or anything like that.

Creative things have to sell to get acknowledged as such.

You know what, Steve Jobs is real nice to me. He lets me be an employee and that’s one of the biggest honors of my life.

I went – 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.

Predictions can sound really good if you’re good with words and can express them eloquently and give people ideas and inspiration in their head. But I’m not really good at that, so I don’t want to.

I worked with such concentration and focus and I had hundreds of obscure engineering or programming things in my head. I was just real exceptional in that way

After the Apple II was introduced, then came the Commodore and the Tandy TRS-80.

Every dream I’ve ever had in life has come true ten times over.

My primary phone is the iPhone. I love the beauty of it. But I wish it did all the things my Android does, I really do.

Everything that has a computer in will fail. Everything in your life, from a watch to a car to a radio, to an iPhone, it will fail if it have a computer in it.

Everything we did we were setting the tone for the world.

Geek it’s really more a characteristic where you don’t socialize. You don’t talk the normal languages.

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.

You’d better have the technology knowledge. I really urge you not to think you can start a whole company and business with just ideas on paper, because you’ll end up owning so few of those ideas.

The alcoholic and the drug addict harm only themselves by their behavior; the person who violates the rules of morality governing mans life in society harms not only himself, but everyone.

I was five years old; I got addicted to being on stage. I felt like it was the most wonderful place on Earth, performing in front of an audience, who in this case were a bunch of classmates, kids my age.

The gymnasiacs of Venice, in California, are so addicted to these practices that there has arisen a nation of men who can no longer put their arms against their sides

From day one, I got addicted to being on stage and getting the applause and laughter.

You can be addicted to meat, as far as I’m concerned. Why else would I eat six cheeseburgers a day?

I’m a lifelong movie addict, and one of my favorite projects is making replica props and costumes.

I could see how people get addicted to animation, and I understand why it’s so great for comedy. You can do whatever you want and it just happens.

My whole life had been designing computers I could never build.
