“If I designed a computer with 200 chips, I tried to design it with 150. And then I would try to design it with 100. I just tried to find every trick I could in life to design things real tiny.”

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.

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

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.

Steve Jobs doesn’t use a Mac, and won’t, because it’s too crappy in his opinion.

In some parts of life, like mathematics and science, yeah, I was a genius. I would top all the top scores you could ever measure it by.

If you love what you do and are willing to do what it takes, it’s within your reach.

I use a computer. I don’t know if that qualifies me as a techie, but I’m pretty good on the computer.

Don’t try to be like Jackie. There is only one Jackie. Study computers instead.

You can’t write poetry on the computer.

My background was computer science and business school, so eventually I worked my way up where I was running product groups – development, testing, marketing, user education.

Long-term, we must begin to build our internal strengths. It isn’t just skills like computer technology. It’s the old-fashioned basics of self-reliance, self-motivation, self-reinforcement, self-discipline, self-command.

The best computer is a man, and it’s the only one that can be mass-produced by unskilled labor.

Any teacher that can be replaced by a computer should be replaced by a computer.

I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.
