For some reason I get this key position of being one of two people that started the company that started the revolution.

Hard disks have disappointed me more than most technologies.

I have such a crowded life and crowded schedule. When people send me a link with a gadget, I'll look at it and buy it if it looks interesting, but I don't have time to check out everything I'd like to.

I just was non-political and didn't see myself as a person who could push people around, make their decision, you know, and tell them how lousy their work was.

The people I recommend the iPhone 4S for are the ones who are already in the Mac world, because it's so compatible, and people who are just scared of computers altogether and don't want to use them. The iPhone is the least frightening thing. For that kind of person who is scared of complexity, well, here's a phone that is simple to use and does what you need it to do.

I think everything I have done in my life, my reasons at the time were right no matter how things worked out.

You should stay closely connected to the technology when you start your company.
