Most inventors and engineers I've met are like me. They're shy and they live in their heads. The very best of them are artists. And artists work best alone.

Steve Jobs didn't really set the direction of my Apple I and Apple II designs but he did the more important part of turning them into a product that would change the world. I don't deny that.
Steve Wozniak
Steve Jobs made the case to Xerox PARC execs directly that they had great technology but that Apple knew how to make it affordable enough to change the world. This was very open. In the end, Xerox got a large block of Apple stock for sharing the technology. That's not stealing outright.
Steve Wozniak
Atari is a very sad story.
Steve Wozniak
I just was non-political and didn't see myself as a person who could push people around, make their decision, you know, and tell them how lousy their work was.
Steve Wozniak
Well, I have many models of Prius that got recalled, but I have a new model that didn't get recalled. This new model has an accelerator that goes wild, but only under certain conditions of cruise control. And I can repeat it over and over and over again--safely.
Steve Wozniak
He [Steve Jobs] had more of the future vision: We can bring this to everyone we can start a company we can sell it.
Steve Wozniak
Like people including Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk have predicted, I agree that the future is scary and very bad for people. If we build these devices to take care of everything for us, eventually they'll think faster than us and they'll get rid of the slow humans to run companies more efficiently.
Steve Wozniak
It's a lot easier to think of an app and write it than it is to convince people to want it.
Steve Wozniak
I think that the anti-Microsoft sentiment is simply due to their having been so successful selling a lot of crap.
Steve Wozniak
I do not like to talk about the future. I don't like to be one of those people. It's so easy to have a very vague idea and say, oh, computers will be 3D-ish and then 10 years later I'll say I predicted it 10 years ahead. I don't think that's honest and I don't think that's valid and worth anything.
Steve Wozniak
It's just not right that so many things don't work when they should. I don't think that will change for a long time.
Steve Wozniak
You have to seek the simplest implementation of a problem solution in order to know when you've reached your limit in that regard. Then it's easy to make tradeoffs, to back off a little, for performance reasons. You can simplify and simplify and simplify yet still find other incredible ways to simplify further.
Steve Wozniak
The more we thought, the more they all sounded boring compared to Apple. You didn't have to have a real specific reason for choosing a name when you were a little tiny company of two people you choose any name you want.
Steve Wozniak
I think everything I have done in my life, my reasons at the time were right no matter how things worked out.
Steve Wozniak
A lot of things seem to be worth almost no money. but if you do them very well, and they help people fill a need, there's a great business you can build around that.
Steve Wozniak
Geek it's really more a characteristic where you don't socialize. You don't talk the normal languages.
Steve Wozniak
Steve Jobs had very strong feelings about what makes a company great, what makes products great. He more or less chose Tim Cook to be in that role, in that position.
Steve Wozniak
My whole life had been designing computers I could never build.
Steve Wozniak
And Communist Russia was so bad because they followed their people, they snooped on them, they arrested them, they put them in secret prisons, they disappeared them.
Steve Wozniak
Teachers started recognizing me and praising me for being smart in science and that made me want to be even smarter in science!
Steve Wozniak
