I think Pixar has the opportunity to be the next Disney - not replace Disney - but be the next Disney.

You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

The journey is the reward

You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new.

We think the Mac will sell zillions, but we didn't build the Mac for anybody else. We built it for ourselves. We were the group of people who were going to judge whether it was great or not. We weren't going to go out and do market research. We just wanted to build the best thing we could build.

The over-all point is that new technology will not necessarily replace old technology, but it will date it. By definition. Eventually, it will replace it. But it's like people who had black-and-white TVs when color came out. They eventually decided whether or not the new technology was worth the investment.

I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates.
