Hard disks have disappointed me more than most technologies.

It would be nice to design a real briefcase - you open it up and it's your computer but it also stores your books.

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

What I was proud of was that I used very few parts to build a computer that could actually speak words on a screen and type words on a keyboard and run a programming language that could play games. And I did all this myself.

It's a lot easier to think of an app and write it than it is to convince people to want it.

I sold my most valuable possession, but I knew that because I worked at Hewlett Packard, I could buy the next model calculator the very next month for a lower price than I sold the older one for!

I really believe I know why my designs were better than any other human being, but I don't want to take credit for starting Apple, for turning the world around or anything like that.
