If something is not good enough, stop doing it.
Jonathan Ive

What I love about the creative process, and this may sound naive, but it is this idea that one day there is no idea, and no solution, but the next day there is an idea. I find that incredibly exciting and conceptually actually remarkable.
Jonathan Ive

It feels like each time we are beginning at the beginning, in a really exciting way.
Jonathan Ive
Image
Its difficult to do something radically new, unless you are at the heart of a company.
