My goal wasn't to make a ton of money. It was to build good computers.
My whole life had been designing computers I could never build.
Bill Gates is the pope of the personal computer industry. He decides who's going to build.
We can do things that we never could before. Stop-motion lets you build tiny little worlds and computers make that world even more believable.
What I was proud of was that I used very few parts to build a computer that could actually speak words on a screen and type words on a keyboard and run a programming language that could play games. And I did all this myself.
Nanotechnology will let us build computers that are incredibly powerful. We'll have more power in the volume of a sugar cube than exists in the entire world today.
We are like a woman with a difficult pregnancy. We have to rebuild the social classes in Egypt and we must change the way things were.
It is time for corporate America to become 'the third pillar' of social change in our society complementing the first two pillars of government and philanthropy. We need the entire private sector to begin committing itself not just to making profits but to fulfilling higher and larger purposes by contributing to building a better world.
My goal was never to just create a company. A lot of people misinterpret that as if I don't care about revenue or profit or any of those things. But what not being just a company means to me is not being just that - building something that actually makes a really big change in the world.
Driving race cars was an avenue for me to learn how to build my own car and that was my ambition all along.
I think that people don't know how to do anything anymore. My father was a janitor. He could take a car apart and put it back together. He could build a house in the back yard. Today if you ask people what they know they say 'I know how to hire someone.'
Every song has a composer every book has an author every car has a maker every painting has a painter and every building has a builder. So it isn't irrational to take this simple logic a little further and say that nature must have had a Maker. It would be irrational to believe that it made itself.
You're pulling 4-5G for a lot of the corners around the lap. We build up lactic acid because there are a lot of vibrations in the car and you have to have strong legs to hit the brake pedal. We need to be fit to do every lap at 100%.
By the time the children go to bed I am as drained as any mother who has spent her day working car pooling building Lego castles and shopping for the precisely correct soccer cleat.
I think I'm actually quite a materialistic person I value what it takes to make a car or build a nice house. Money does change things but how it changes people depends on how they react to it.
At least 50 times. I've jumped off a building jumped off a cliff in a car. I've been in bedrooms when women came in with knives and guns.
Forget the damned motor car and build the cities for lovers and friends.
It's better to take over and build upon an existing business than to start a new one.
I'd get kicked out of buildings all day long people would rip up my business card in my face. It's a humbling business to be in. But I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had created. I cut the feet out of those pantyhose and I knew I was on to something. This was it.
Married couples who work together to build and maintain a business assume broad responsibilities. Not only is their work important to our local and national economies but their success is central to the well-being of their families.
When I was building the Vietnam Memorial I never once asked the veterans what it was like in the war because from my point of view you don't pry into other people's business.
My goal in the beginning was to buy my mother a house. Now I realize okay if I really focus and become a key player in business then I can build an empire.
You can hype a questionable product for a little while but you'll never build an enduring business.
When I started Netscape I was brand new out of college and all the aspects of building a business like balance sheets and hiring people were new to me.
If information and knowledge are central to democracy they are conditions for development.
