Walter Isaacson did 40 interviews with Steve Jobs for his biography.

He weighs in on everything from the competition to religion to building the best products in the world.
On why you should take LSD
On why you should take LSD
Mike Matas
“Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life. LSD shows you that there’s another side to the coin, and you can’t remember it when it wears off, but you know it. It reinforced my sense of what was important—creating great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could.”
"As soon as you have a stylus, you're dead"
"As soon as you have a stylus, you're dead"
Kensington
Here's Jobs talking about a Microsoft employee he was friendly with: "This guy badgered me about how Microsoft was going to completely change the world with this tablet PC software and eliminate all notebook computers, and Apple ought to license his Microsoft software. But he was doing the device all wrong. It had a stylus. As soon as you have a stylus, you’re dead. This dinner was like the tenth time he talked to me about it, and I was so sick of it that I came home and said, 'Fuck this, let’s show him what a tablet can really be.'"

"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."
"There's some notion that because I was abandoned, I worked very hard so I could do well and make parents wish they had me back, but that's nonsense."

Even when you're dying, you have to make sure you continue living
Even when you're dying, you have to make sure you continue living
Dan Frommer, Business Insider
“Living with a disease like this, and all the pain, constantly reminds you of your own mortality, and that can do strange things to your brain if you’re not careful.”
“You don’t make plans more than a year out, and that’s bad. You need to force yourself to plan as if you will live for many years.”
On religion ...
On religion ...
"The juice goes out of Christianity when it becomes too based on faith rather than living like Jesus or seeing the world as Jesus saw it ... I think different religions are different doors to the same house. Sometimes I think the house exists, and sometimes I don't. It's the great mystery."
Expect good people to do great things, and they will
Expect good people to do great things, and they will
Folklore.org
"I've learned over the years that when you have really good people you don't have to baby them. By expecting them to do great things, you can get them to do great things. The original Mac team taught me that A-plus players like to work together, and they don't like it if you tolerate B work."
“We put iTunes on Windows in order to sell more iPods. But I don’t see an advantage of putting our music app on Android, except to make Android users happy. And I don’t want to make Android users happy.”
“We put iTunes on Windows in order to sell more iPods. But I don’t see an advantage of putting our music app on Android, except to make Android users happy. And I don’t want to make Android users happy.”
"I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this."

“My job is to say when something sucks rather than sugarcoat it."

"People don’t know what they want until you show it to them."
"People don’t know what they want until you show it to them."
"Some people say, 'Give the customers what they want.' But that’s not my approach. Our job is to figure out what they’re going to want before they do. I think Henry Ford once said, 'If I’d asked customers what they wanted, they would have told me, "A faster horse!"' People don’t know what they want until you show it to them. That’s why I never rely on market research. Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page."
Why Jobs took over Apple in 1997: "The only reason I want to do it is that the world will be a better place with Apple in it."
