Everything that has a computer in will fail. Everything in your life, from a watch to a car to a radio, to an iPhone, it will fail if it have a computer in it.

Will we be the gods? Will we be the family pets? Or will we be ants that get stepped on? I don't know about that ... But when I got that thinking in my head about if I'm going to be treated in the future as a pet to these smart machines ... well I'm going to treat my own pet dog really nice.

The way I did it, every job was A+.

I started passing out the schematics and the code listings for the computer, telling everyone here it is. It's small, it's simple, it's inexpensive: Build your own. No idea to start a company. Steve Jobs came by later and say, you know, people are interested. Why don't we start a company?

Not everything in life can go perfectly according to plan. I mean I didn't keep every girlfriend I ever had.

I had a TV set and a typewriter and that made me think a computer should be laid out like a typewriter with a video screen.

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