Fashion has become so whatever. I don’t think there are any stones left to unturn.

I was lucky – I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents‘ garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years, Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees.

California has a special relationship with the Internet. Many of the core technologies that power the Internet were invented here. Many of the most successful online entrepreneurs and content creators – in business, the arts, and countless other endeavors – got their start here.

If you wear clothes that don’t suit you, you’re a fashion victim. You have to wear clothes that make you look better.

I welcome and seek your ideas, but do not bring me small ideas; bring me big ideas to match our future.

California is not just the Golden State. We are also the Internet State.

Tesla is here to stay and keep fighting for the electric car revolution.

If you do not expect the unexpected you will not find it, for it is not to be reached by search or trail.

I like a good pair of jeans, but I also like putting on a nice tux. I’d rather go around in a good pair of jeans that you don’t wash every day, because they get more and more comfortable.

But Apple really beats to a different drummer. I used to say that Apple should be the Sony of this business, but in reality, I think Apple should be the Apple of this business.

Our goal is to make the best devices in the world, not to be the biggest.

All styles are good except the tiresome kind.

Pop is totally results-oriented and there is a very strong feedback loop.

Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.

I have tennis shoes with little rhinestones that I slip on if I exercise. But I always wear heels, even around the house. I’m such a short little thing, I can’t reach my kitchen cabinets.

The real story of Facebook is just that we’ve worked so hard for all this time. I mean, the real story is actually probably pretty boring, right? I mean, we just sat at our computers for six years and coded.

As we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours, and this we should do freely and generously.

I was the first person to have a punk rock hairstyle.

My wife dresses to kill. She cooks the same way.

We are often raised as dependents then given over to teachers. It’s experience and exploration that can transform us and lead to mastery.

The thing that makes my clothes really different is that, number one, they are really great designs; they’re not tacky; they are very professional; the design is made from lots of decisions.

My clothes are very popular in Japan.

Don’t dress to kill, dress to survive.

I don’t invest in ideas because ideas are a dime a dozen. I could steal the idea pretty quickly.

Personally, I would be delighted if there were a life after death, especially if it permitted me to continue to learn about this world and others, if it gave me a chance to discover how history turns out.

It never mattered to me that people in school didn’t think that country music was cool, and they made fun of me for it – though it did matter to me that I was not wearing the clothes that everybody was wearing at that moment. But at some point, I was just like, ‚I like wearing sundresses and cowboy boots.‘

I have enjoyed great satisfaction from my climb of Everest and my trips to the poles. But there’s no doubt that my most worthwhile things have been the building of schools and medical clinics.

Obviously black matches with everything.

When I was with Andy Warhol, I thought, ‚God, his wig looks cheaper than mine!‘

I am excited to partner with Under Armour to bring game-changing sleepwear, with the same bioceramics technology I use, to athletes all around the world.

For me, bomber jackets are smart, but they are also street and have a lot of attitude.

In the history of medicine, it is not always the great scientist or the learned doctor who goes forward to discover new fields, new avenues, new ideas.

Trees go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!

Joan of Arc had style. Jesus had style.

The desktop computer industry is dead. Innovation has virtually ceased. Microsoft dominates with very little innovation. That’s over. Apple lost. The desktop market has entered the dark ages, and it’s going to be in the dark ages for the next 10 years, or certainly for the rest of this decade.

Think off-center.

What is Apple, after all? Apple is about people who think ‚outside the box,‘ people who want to use computers to help them change the world, to help them create things that make a difference, and not just to get a job done.

There is a difference between what technology enables and what historical business practices enable.

In order for us to have a future that’s exciting and inspiring, it has to be one where we’re a space-bearing civilization.

What I do is I write mainly about very personal and rather lonely feelings, and I explore them in a different way each time. You know, what I do is not terribly intellectual. I’m a pop singer for Christ’s sake. As a person, I’m fairly uncomplicated.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.

When I have an idea, I turn down the flame, as if it were a little alcohol stove, as low as it will go. Then it explodes and that is my idea.

One of the things you’re doing when you make art, apart from entertaining yourself and other people, is trying to see what ways of working feel good, what feels right.

People like Frank Zappa and Bryan Ferry knew we could pick and choose from the history of music, stick things together looking for friction and energy. They were more like playwrights; they invented characters and wrote a life around them.

A solution built by an artist serves the artist more than the solution the capitalist comes up with.

Adventures are to the adventurous.

Those who govern, having much business on their hands, do not generally like to take the trouble of considering and carrying into execution new projects. The best public measures are therefore seldom adopted from previous wisdom, but forced by the occasion.

When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.

Right now it’s only a notion, but I think I can get the money to make it into a concept, and later turn it into an idea.

We believe that if men have the talent to invent new machines that put men out of work, they have the talent to put those men back to work.

I like sweaters. I have a sweater obsession, I guess.

I don’t feel comfortable defending my clothes. But if you’ve got the money to afford them, then buy something from me. Just don’t buy too much.

Only by going alone in silence, without baggage, can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness. All other travel is mere dust and hotels and baggage and chatter.

Buy clothes the size you want to wear.

Whenever I go on a ride, I’m always thinking of what’s wrong with the thing and how it can be improved.

I’m fascinated by musicians who don’t completely understand their territory; that’s when you do your best work.

One of the things that we’re trying to do with Creative Labs and all our experiences is explore things that aren’t all tied to Facebook identity. Some things will be, but not everything will have to be, because there are some sets of experiences that are just better with other identities.

Innovation is a good thing. The human condition – put aside bioterrorism and a few footnotes – is improving because of innovation.

I think style is being so comfortable and confident in what you’re wearing. That’s what style is, ‚cause everybody’s got different style.

I think the high-tech industry is used to developing new things very quickly. It’s the Silicon Valley way of doing business: You either move very quickly and you work hard to improve your product technology, or you get destroyed by some other company.
