Real quality means making sure that people are proud of the code they write, that they're involved and taking it personally.

I can mostly laugh at myself and this whole mess called "Linux developers," which means that I get along with most people and most people get along with me.

Most of the good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.

I very seldom worry about other systems. I concentrate pretty fully on just making Linux the best I can.

I never try to make any far-reaching predictions, so much can happen that it simply only makes you look stupid a few years later.

I am not out to destroy Microsoft, that would be a completely unintended side effect.

I do get my pizzas paid for by Linux indirectly.
