Everyone who's ever taken a shower has an idea. It's the person who gets out of the shower, dries off and does something about it who makes a difference.

More quotes by Nolan Bushnell
I've been in navigation systems, robotics, restaurants, communications systems, touch screens, and now I'm back in games. I like to say I have five-year A.D.D.
Nolan Bushnell
The truth is just an excuse for lack of imagination.
Nolan Bushnell
I'm glad to see the casual game play coming back now on the Internet, games that aren't violent, that aren't complex that you can sit down and you can have some fun.
Nolan Bushnell
I'd love to design a school.

I've always thought legal addictions are a great way to create a business. Starbucks is a wonderful example.
Nolan Bushnell
When it kind of went to 'Street Fighter', where you had to push 13 buttons with all 13 of your fingers and ripped the spine out of somebody, you know, violent games lost the women. Complexity lost the casual gamer.

Walk to work, even if it's four miles. Ride a bike to work. Drive a different way. On your way there, try to find beauty. You'd be surprised how much more of the neighborhood you can perceive and experience when you're looking for unique spots of beauty.

A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.
Nolan Bushnell
In 1980, Atari was bringing in around two billion dollars in revenue and Chuck E. Cheese's some five hundred million. I still didn't feel too bad that I had turned down a one-third ownership of Apple - although I was beginning to think it might turn out to be a mistake.

We're moving away from a credentialed society to a merit society.

Innovation is hard. It really is. Because most people don't get it. Remember, the automobile, the airplane, the telephone, these were all considered toys at their introduction because they had no constituency. They were too new.
Nolan Bushnell
If you really want you people to innovate, buy a science fiction book, tear off the covers, and tell them it's history.
Nolan Bushnell
My perception is that I'm a guy who really does a lot of homework surrounding any project that I do.
Nolan Bushnell
People hate to and will not read instructions.
Nolan Bushnell
My sweet spot is figuring out how to make a product that people love and how to refine it to make them love it more. All the rest is business noise.
Nolan Bushnell
The best ideas lose their owners and take on lives of their own.
Nolan Bushnell
If you're willing to work harder than anybody else, you can create your own luck
Nolan Bushnell
The true entrepreneur is a doer
Nolan Bushnell
I like games where you can use stealth and guile. As you get older, it's like the difference between playing squash and racketball. Squash is an older man's game, because if you're stealthy and wily, you can beat a better-co-ordinated and stronger, younger person.

People like secrets. Creative people really like secrets.
