That's always been in my mind my metaphor for a team working really hard on something they're passionate about. It's that through the team, through that group of incredibly talented people bumping up against each other, having arguments, having fights sometimes, making some noise, and working together they polish each other and they polish the ideas, and what comes out are these really beautiful stones.

We're just enthusiastic about what we do.

Creativity is just connecting things.

Design isn't just how it looks. It's how it works.

My job is not to be easy on people. My job is to take these great people we have and to push them and make them even better.

I'll always stay connected with Apple. I hope that throughout my life I'll sort of have the thread of my life and the thread of Apple weave in and out of each other, like a tapestry. There may be a few years when I'm not there, but I'll always come back.

Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.
