In some parts of life, like mathematics and science, yeah, I was a genius. I would top all the top scores you could ever measure it by.

If my son wants to be a pimp when he grows up, that's fine with me. I hope he's a good one and enjoys it and doesn't get caught. I'll support him in this. But if he wants to be a network administrator, he's out of the house and not part of my family.

After the Apple II was introduced, then came the Commodore and the Tandy TRS-80.
Steve Wozniak
I hate to say it, and Apple never likes it, but I love anything that's hacker oriented. I don't like passing it onto others, or getting things for free. I don't like stealing music one bit, at all.
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
I had much more money than you ever need in your life to live on. So I was giving computer labs to school districts. I was - but then I decided you should really give yourself.
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

Steve Wozniak
For some reason I get this key position of being one of two people that started the company that started the revolution.
Steve Wozniak
I've never really been associated with the hackers very much. I am sympathetic to them. I understand how their mind works. It's like a child that is born and wants to explore every little - open up every little drawer there is and find out how the world works.
