I don't want to use my creative energy on somebody else's user interface.

I try to spend my time on areas that I think are important for the future, and where I think I can add value.

I don't think that you can invent on behalf of customers unless you're willing to think long-term, because a lot of invention doesn't work. If you're going to invent, it means you're going to experiment, and if you're going to experiment, you're going to fail, and if you're going to fail, you have to think long term.

Millions of people were inspired by the Apollo Program. I was five years old when I watched Apollo 11 unfold on television, and without any doubt it was a big contributor to my passions for science, engineering, and exploration.

Where you are going to spend your time and your energy is one of the most important decisions you get to make in life.

For every leader in the company, not just for me, there are decisions that can be made by analysis. These are the best kinds of decisions!

Failure comes part and parcel with invention. It’s not optional.
