An innovation is one of those things that society looks at and says, if we make this part of the way we live and work, it will change the way we live and work.

I consider high-speed data transmission an invention that became a major innovation. It changed the way we all communicate

I don't work on a project unless I believe that it will dramatically improve life for a bunch of people.

Most of the time you will fail, but you will also occasionally succeed. Those occasional successes make all the hard work and sacrifice worthwhile.

Americans thinking that America will continue to lead the world in innovation and quality of life without some quick and serious educational improvements are dangerously delusional.

In a free society, you get what you celebrate.

I think an education is not only important, it is the most important thing you can do with your life.
