When the sales guys run the company, the product guys do not matter so much, and a lot of them just turn off.

I can help the next generation remember the lineage of great companies here and how to continue the tradition. The Valley has been very supportive of me. I should do my best to repay.

Bill Gates'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger.

Focus is about saying, No. And the result of that focus is going to be some really great products where the total is much greater than the sum of the parts.

We're just enthusiastic about what we do.
Steve Jobs

You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new.

This is what customers pay us for - to sweat all these details so it's easy and pleasant for them to use our computers. We're supposed to be really good at this. That doesn't mean we don't listen to customers, but it's hard for them to tell you what they want when they've never seen anything remotely like it.
Steve Jobs

We do not say anything about future products. We work on them in secret, then we announce them.
Steve Jobs

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5ยข deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it.

The hardest thing when you think about focusing. You think focusing is about saying Yes. No. Focusing is about saying No. And when you say No, you piss off people.

We want to reinvent the phone. What's the killer app? The killer app is making calls! It's amazing how hard it is to make calls on most phones. We want to let you use contacts like never before - sync your iPhone with your PC or mac.

It is piracy, not overt online music stores, which is our main competitor.

Good PR educates people that's all it is. You can't con people in this business. The products speak for themselves.
