We're gambling on our vision, and we would rather do that than make me too products. Let some other companies do that. For us, it's always the next dream.

Customers always want something new
Steve Jobs

I don't want to fail, of course. But even though I didn't know how bad things really were, I still had a lot to think about before I said yes. I had to consider the implications for Pixar, for my family, for my reputation. I decided that I didn't really care, because this is what I want to do. If I try my best and fail, well, I've tried my best.

We do not say anything about future products. We work on them in secret, then we announce them.
Steve Jobs
Image
I was worth about over a million dollars when I was 23 and over ten million dollars when I was 24, and over a hundred million dollars when I was 25 and... it wasn't that important — because I never did it for the money.

A lot of companies have chosen to downsize, and maybe that was the right thing for them. We chose a different path. Our belief was that if we kept putting great products in front of customers, they would continue to open their wallets.

Life can be much broader. You can embrace it, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it.
Steve Jobs

The people who built Silicon Valley were engineers. They learned business, they learned a lot of different things, but they had a real belief that humans, if they worked hard with other creative, smart people, could solve most of humankind's problems. I believe that very much.
Steve Jobs

That's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex.

Why join the navy if you can be a pirate?
Steve Jobs

Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking.
Steve Jobs
Image
You can't connect the dots looking forward you can only connect them looking backwards.
Steve Jobs

Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it.
Steve Jobs

I was lucky to get into computers when it was a very young and idealistic industry. There weren't many degrees offered in computer science, so people in computers were brilliant people from mathematics, physics, music, zoology, whatever. They loved it, and no one was really in it for the money.
Steve Jobs

Don't be afraid, you can do it.
Steve Jobs

If you want to live your life in a creative way, as an artist, you have to not look back too much. You have to be willing to take whatever you've done and whoever you were and throw them away.
Steve Jobs
