More quotes by Nolan Bushnell
I don't think people understand how much hard work innovation is. That it's not just getting an idea. You really have to cross your T's and dot your I's long before you ever start on the project. I don't think people perceive that about me. I work hard.
Nolan Bushnell
The truth is just an excuse for lack of imagination.
Nolan Bushnell
Hire for passion and intensity there is training for everything else.

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.
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
The best ideas lose their owners and take on lives of their own.
Nolan Bushnell
Today, companies have to radically revolutionize themselves every few years just to stay relevant. That's because technology and the Internet have transformed the business landscape forever. The fast-paced digital age has accelerated the need for companies to become agile.
Nolan Bushnell
If you're willing to work harder than anybody else, you can create your own luck
Nolan Bushnell
I try to get a vision of the future, and then I try to figure out where the discontinuities are.
Nolan Bushnell
I founded Atari in my garage in Santa Clara while at Stanford. When I was in school, I took a lot of business classes. I was really fascinated by economics. You end up having to be a marketeer, finance maven and a little bit of a technologist in order to get a business going.
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
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.
