Steve Jobs Quotes

When I hire somebody really senior, competence is the ante. They have to be really smart. But the real issue for me is, Are they going to fall in love with Apple? Because if they fall in love with Apple, everything else will take care of itself. They’ll want to do what’s best for Apple, not what’s best for them, what’s best for Steve, or anybody else Picture Quote #1

The greatest artists like Dylan, Picasso and Newton risked failure. And if we want to be great, we’ve got to risk it too Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity - not a threat Picture Quote #1

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you Picture Quote #1

We all have a short period of time on this earth-We probably only have the opportunity to do a few things really great and do them well. None of us has any idea how long we’re going to be here nor do I, but my feeling is I’ve got to accomplish a lot of these things while I’m young Picture Quote #1

We don’t have a good language to talk about this kind of thing. In most people’s vocabularies, design means veneer... But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation Picture Quote #1

I always thought of myself as a humanities person as a kid, but I liked electronics. Then I read something that one of my heroes, Edwin Land of Polaroid, said about the importance of people who could stand at the intersection of humanities and sciences, and I decided that’s what I wanted to do Picture Quote #1

I admire Mark Zuckerberg... for not selling out, for wanting to make a company. I admire that a lot Picture Quote #1

I hate it when people call themselves ‘entrepreneurs’ when what they’re really trying to do is launch a startup and then sell of go public, so they can cash in and move on. They’re unwilling to do the work it takes to build a real company, which is the hardest work in business Picture Quote #1

Kick-start your brain. New ideas come from watching something, talking to people, experimenting, asking questions and getting out of the office! Picture Quote #1

I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this Picture Quote #1

We had the hardware expertise, the industrial design expertise and the software expertise, including iTunes. One of the biggest insights we have was that we decided not to try to manage your music library on the iPod, but to manage it in iTunes. Other companies tried to do everything on the device itself and made it so complicated that it was useless Picture Quote #1

The technology companies don’t understand creative things at all. Silicon Valley’s view of the creative process in Hollywood is a bunch of guys in their young thirties sitting on a couch, drinking beer, and thinking up jokes Picture Quote #1

I’d say we [Apple Inc.] are the most creative of the technology companies and definitely the most artist-friendly. Almost everyone in the music business uses a Mac and everyone has an iPod Picture Quote #1

People equated burning CDs with theft. That’s not what burning CDs is. Theft is about acquiring the music from the Internet Picture Quote #1

Stealing things is everybody’s problem. We [Apple Inc.] own a lot of intellectual property, and we don’t like when people steal it. So people are stealing stuff and we’re optimists. We believe that 80 percent of the people stealing stuff don’t want to be; there’s just no legal alternative Picture Quote #1

We’re not a media company. We don’t own media. We don’t own music. We don’t own films or television. We’re not a media company. We’re just Apple Picture Quote #1

I think that genius comes not just from having great mental processing power. It comes from being able to, as Steve Jobs’ ad said, think different Picture Quote #1

You know, you keep on innovating, you keep on making better stuff. And if you always want the latest and greatest, then you have to buy a new iPod at least once a year Picture Quote #1

Americans understand that one of our great national strengths is innovation. Great innovators - Benjamin Franklin, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and others - are household names Picture Quote #1

You can mythologize Steve Jobs, but really in the end, he was a kid from the Valley, with his funny little friends, and they made something. That’s all he was Picture Quote #1

Steve Jobs was a real rock star to me. I looked forward to his products like people look forward to albums Picture Quote #1
