If you think something is impossible, don't disturb the person who is doing it!

I loved music, and in my ninth year at MIT, I decided to buy a hi-fi set. I figured that all I needed to do was look at the specifications. So I bought what looked like the best one, turned it on, and turned it off in five minutes, the sound was so poor.

I really wanted to do research. That has never changed.

I would have been fired a hundred times at a company run by M.B.A.’s. But I never went into business to make money. I went into business so that I could do interesting things that hadn’t been done before.

One hundred percent of our earnings are reinvested in the company, and a great deal of that goes to research.

The food we ate was Indian, and both my mother and father were very deep into the ancient philosophy of India, so it could well have been an Indian household.

Invention is arrived at by intelligent stumbling.
