I knew the Apple II was great when I bought it, but as I dug into the details it just completely blew me away the creative artistic approach that the designers had taken.

I did some products for the Apple II, most notably the first small low cost thermal printer, the Silent Type.

Working long hours being single helps because your time is yours. Once you have a family your time isn't all yours anymore. Most of the Mac team, we were in our mid-20's, most of us were single, and we were able to essentially devote our lives to it.

In fact when I first got my Apple II the first thing I did was turn it on and off, on and off, just because I had the power to do so, which I'd never had on a computer before.

A lot of people thought Steve Jobs was a CEO of Apple but he never was until he came back to Apple in 1997.

But typically for a project like the Mac, the size we had was pretty good. And it has different stages. The team grows as you have to write manuals and do testing... though the Mac had no formal testing.

The Macintosh having shipped, his next agenda was to turn the rest of Apple into the Mac group. He had perceived the rest of Apple wasn't as creative or motivated as the Mac team, and what you need to take over the company are managers, not innovators or technical people.

I was a grad student at UC Berkeley when I bought my Apple II and it suddenly because a lot more interesting than school.

Scotty heard that I was thinking about quitting Apple because of his actions, so he called me into his office and asked what it would take for me to stay? I said, maybe if I could work on the Mac project, which Steve had just taken over from Jef Raskin.

But I think Steve's main contribution besides just the pure leadership is his passion for excellence. He's a perfectionist. Good enough isn't good enough. And also his creative spirit. You know he really, really wants to do something great.

I left General Magic in 1996 to become an Internet hobbyist - got a T-1 line to my house. At one point I had all four food banks of the Bay Area hosted from this house here.

We were developing an innovative Personal Information Manager called Chandler but a couple years ago I took off from that to do a project writing down my memoirs essentially, reminiscing about the development of the Macintosh.

I got bitten by the free software bug in February of 1998 around the time of the Mozilla announcement.

The Apple II was not designed like an ordinary product. It used crazy tricks everywhere.

Apple was our benefactor at starting General Magic, but about a year later decided they would rather BE General Magic and tried to make us blink out of existence... which we eventually did, but it took a few years.

I started working at Apple about 18 months after I bought my Apple II.

People who work on the user interface side need to have empathy as a key characteristic. But if you are writing device drivers you don't really need to understand humans so well.

As you know, Microsoft eventually kind of grabbed the gold ring out of Apple's hands, I guess.

I left Apple in April of 1984, pretty soon after the introduction of the Mac.

Being idealistic really helps you overcome some of the many obstacles put in your path.

I've been wanting to be sponsored by some kind of hair product for a long time. I have a lot of hair, and it goes through a lot in my training camps anyways, so having some kind of great hair sponsor would probably be awesome for me. I'm kind of hard on my hair, but I think I have nice hair.

It is impossible to deny that Christians and Muslims have a common agenda here: both faiths have at their heart the living image of a community raised up by God's call to reveal to the world what God's purpose is for humanity.

Unless you puke, faint, or die, keep going.

Glamour is assurance. It is a kind of knowing that you are all right in every way mentally and physically and in appearance and that whatever the occasion or the situation you are equal to it.

If you can speak English, and you can get a place on a proper course at a proper university, you can come to study in Britain.

In a market economy, however, the individual has some possibility of escaping from the power of the state.

I don't normally like getting dressed up, but when I go to events, I like to look put together. I've got to say, getting in a nice suit feels good.

Only he has the calling for politics who is sure that he shall not crumble when the world from his point of view is too stupid or too base for what he wants to offer.

Predicting what content is going to fly is like looking into a crystal ball. I try not to say, 'Yeah, 'Bridesmaids' opened the door to make more movies about women.' I mean, did it? I don't know; where are they?

That's why I do this music business thing, it's communication with people without having the extreme inconvenience of actually phoning anybody up.

I'm a bed monster.

Its pretty simple to me we come from a really grounded world where anything you say could be the thing that the scene becomes about. Were always treating it as if we would treat it in real life. Its all observation.

Black liner around the eye makes your eyes look smaller. I think you should reassess, if you're a really big black liner user, maybe even just doing the top line, not lower, or try a brown or a plum or even a navy.

I always try to keep my constituents as up-to-date as possible with what's going on here in Washington.

If there was no faith there would be no living in this world. We could not even eat hash with any safety.

To drive though the streets of Manhattan to sign a record deal was like a movie. It was crazy - pretty hard to put into words.

Come what may all bad fortune is to be conquered by endurance.

Donald Trump is actually the voice of the silent majority, and I think he's awoken that silent majority. People are very angry, and the people who are the most angry are actually the legal immigrants who see their jobs fleeing.

Master of the universe but not of myself, I am the only rebel against my absolute power.

To this day, I love eating steak tacos before going to the red carpets.

Meetings should be great - they're opportunities for a group of people sitting together around a table to directly communicate. That should be a good thing. And it is, but only if treated as a rare delicacy.

The history of Iranian foreign investment in the past, their terms were always quite challenging, quite difficult.
