I believe in innovation and that the way you get innovation is you fund research and you learn the basic facts.

When I walk into a grocery store and look at all the products you can choose, I say, "My God!" No king ever had anything like I have in my grocery store today.

I never took a day off in my twenties. Not one. And I'm still fanatical, but now I'm a little less fanatical.

Most of our competitors were one-product wonders... They would do their one product, but never get their engineering sorted out.

The truth of Moore's law has made remarkable things possible. On the software side, I think natural user interfaces in all their forms are equally significant.

Microsoft has had many, many successful products. I'm committed to one company. This is the industry I've decided to work in.

My guideline has always been to avoid a focus on me personally. Not because of any deep, dark secrets. Rather just a sense of privacy.
