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.

And Communist Russia was so bad because they followed their people, they snooped on them, they arrested them, they put them in secret prisons, they disappeared them.

When we first started with Apple computers, it was my dream that everyone would learn to program, and that was how they'd use their computer.

Steve Jobs had very strong feelings about what makes a company great, what makes products great. He more or less chose Tim Cook to be in that role, in that position.

The first Apple was just a culmination of my whole life.

I saw lots of music devices. I loved playing with music devices. And like most of the world, I thought of a music device as a music device. Steve Jobs tends to look beyond that, and he doesn't see a music device as having any importance at all - how fast it is, how many songs it can hold, and all that - he sees music itself to a person as a being the important thing.

Wherever smart people work, doors are unlocked.
