People want to own the music they love.
Steve Jobs
They were willing to do something with us to change the world.
Steve Jobs
This will go down in history as a turning point for the music industry.
Steve Jobs
By keeping the iPod for Mac only, it was driving the sales of Macs even more than we expected.
Steve Jobs
It was a really big argument for months, me against everyone else. [On Windows users being able to use iPods] over my dead body.
Steve Jobs
Until you can prove to me that it will make business sense, I’m not going to do it.
Steve Jobs
Screw it. I’m sick of listening to you assholes. Go do whatever the hell you want.
Steve Jobs
If we’re going to do it, we should do it right.
Steve Jobs
To make the iPod work on PCs, we initially partnered with another company that had a jukebox, gave them the secret sauce to connect to the iPod, and they did a crappy job. That was the worst of all worlds, because this other company was controlling a big piece of the user experience. So we lived with this crappy outside jukebox for about six months, and then we finally got iTunes written for Windows. In the end, you just don’t want someone else to control a big part of the user experience. People may disagree with me, but I am pretty consistent about that.
Steve Jobs
Here’s a feature that people thought we’d never add until this happened.
Steve Jobs
iTunes for Windows is probably the best Windows app ever written.
Steve Jobs
The older I get, the more I see how much motivations matter. The Zune was crappy because the people at Microsoft don’t really love music or art the way we do. We won because we personally love music. We made the iPod for ourselves, and when you’re doing something for yourself, or your best friend or family, you’re not going to cheese out. If you don’t love something, you’re not going to go the extra mile, work the extra weekend, challenge the status quo as much.
Steve Jobs
If you don’t cannibalise yourself, someone else will.
Steve Jobs
[On removing the screen on the iPod] Get rid of the screen altogether. Just get rid of it.
Steve Jobs
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Steve Jobs
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Steve Jobs
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.
