To give of yourself is much more important than giving a gift you can buy.

If you love what you do and are willing to do what it takes, it's within your reach.

I wish to God that Apple and Google were partners in the future.

My primary phone is the iPhone. I love the beauty of it. But I wish it did all the things my Android does, I really do.

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.

I learned not to worry so much about the outcome, but to concentrate on the step I was on and to try to do it as perfectly as I could when I was doing it.

Wherever smart people work, doors are unlocked.

Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window.

I just believe in whatever you're going to do, even if it's work, have a little bit of fun attitude about it. You can be happy.

The easier it is to do something, the harder it is to change the way you do it.

Steve Jobs doesn't use a Mac, and won't, because it's too crappy in his opinion.

In the room...they are inside the books. They move sometimes within the pages, like sleepers turning over between two dreams.

My new novel 'Red Hook Road' began many years ago as a short article in the newspaper.

We've got to stop being the stupid party. It's time for a new Republican Party that talks like adults.

My general working style is to write everything first with pencil and paper, sitting beside a big wastebasket. Then I use Emacs to enter the text into my machine.

The iPod made music mobile, but today, how many devices do you need to walk around with? You want it on just one. And inevitably that's going to be the phone.

My anger tells me firstly that there's a need of mine that's not getting met.

And I can just see that sometimes the technique is blasting powder rather than steady struggle.

People are mean to each other.

Speak up. Believe in yourself. Take risks.
