You can’t really imagine music without technology.

We’re taking all of the lessons that we have from New Shepard and incorporating them into New Glenn.

My music will go on forever. Maybe it’s a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever.

The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.

I never went to rock concerts when I was a kid. I didn’t see any rock & roll bands. I had posters on my wall. I had Beatles records.

It’s not true I had nothing on, I had the radio on.

On my desk I have three screens, synchronized to form a single desktop. I can drag items from one screen to the next. Once you have that large display area, you’ll never go back, because it has a direct impact on productivity.

Anybody that doesn’t like Cardi B a hater!

We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first, rock ‚n‘ roll or Christianity.

I own a ’66 Jaguar. That’s the guitar I polish, and baby – I refuse to let anyone touch it when I jump into the crowd.

I don’t want to do free jazz! Because free jazz – which is the musical equivalent of free marketeering – isn’t actually free at all. It’s just constrained by what your muscles can do.

My view is there’s no bad time to innovate.

Music fills in for words a lot of the time when people don’t know what to say, and I think music can be more eloquent than words.

I used to – my earliest memory of waking up with a melody in my head was, you know, 8, 9, 10. I’ve always heard kind of melodies in my head.

I was born in Africa. I came to California because it’s really where new technologies can be brought to fruition, and I don’t see a viable competitor.

I’m working on my life story. I’m not decided if it’s going to be a musical or a movie with music in it.

Those people who develop the ability to continuously acquire new and better forms of knowledge that they can apply to their work and to their lives will be the movers and shakers in our society for the indefinite future.

A song is anything that can walk by itself.

I had wanted a tape recorder since I was tiny. I thought it was a magic thing. I never got one until just before I went to art school.

The technology keeps moving forward, which makes it easier for the artists to tell their stories and paint the pictures they want.

I’m the king of the anthems.

The basis of our partnership strategy and our partnership approach: We build the social technology. They provide the music.

I’m a painter in sound.

So I’ve seen life as one long learning process. And if I see – you know, if I fly on somebody else’s airline and find the experience is not a pleasant one, which it wasn’t in – 21 years ago, then I’d think, well, you know, maybe I can create the kind of airline that I’d like to fly on.

I want my fans to love themselves. It’s almost like I want to hypnotize them so when they hear my music they love themselves instantly.

SPAM is taking e-mail, which is a wonderful tool, and exploiting the idea that it’s very inexpensive to send mail.

As an entrepreneur, as an investor, I’m trying to be as educated as I can to where the progression of technological capability is going and what it does to these different categories that, me as an artist and an influencer, I can get involved and bring value.

Songs for me are like a message in a bottle. You send them out to the world, and maybe the person who you feel that way about will hear about it someday.

Although designers continue to dream of ‚transparency‘ – technologies that just do their job without making their presence felt – both creators and audiences actually like technologies with ‚personality.‘

I think frugality drives innovation, just like other constraints do. One of the only ways to get out of a tight box is to invent your way out.

I definitely think, generally, rap is misogynistic.

The civilized man has built a coach, but has lost the use of his feet.

Self-driving cars are the natural extension of active safety and obviously something we should do.

My songs always sound a lot better in person than they do on the record.

Well, Apple invented the PC as we know it, and then it invented the graphical user interface as we know it eight years later (with the introduction of the Mac). But then, the company had a decade in which it took a nap.

Music, the greatest good that mortals know and all of heaven we have hear below.

Writing music is just like writing a book.

My mother is a singer, my sisters all sing, my uncles are incredible singers and guitar players, so it’s just kind of been like my habitat.

I don’t listen to the radio very much, but that could be because I don’t have a car.

Doing music to pay bills is an uncomfortable situation. I never wanted to be in that situation.

I’ve always loved black culture; I don’t know any other way to put it. Since I was a kid I loved music and early jazz, Sly and the Family Stone. I’m older – I’m in my early 50s – so you’ll have to excuse me. That was always very exciting to me to connect to the culture on that level.

Genres aren’t closed boxes. Stuff flows back and forth across the borders all the time.

Music is the wine which inspires one to new generative processes, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for mankind and makes them spiritually drunken.

I sing and play the guitar, and I’m a walking, talking bacterial infection.

The march of science and technology does not imply growing intellectual complexity in the lives of most people. It often means the opposite.

I never wanted to sing. I just wanted to play rhythm guitar – hide in the back and just play.

I love the Sex Pistols. I’m a big Beach Boys fan and a huge Zeppelin and Queen fan.

If you want to talk about something new, you have to make up a new kind of language.

I do like Burial; he’s so curiously clumsy, you can’t help but be moved. It’s so un-Hollywood, and the rhythms are so un-danceable.

No grand idea was ever born in a conference, but a lot of foolish ideas have died there.

I have to admit I’ve found myself doing the same things that a lot of other rock stars do or are forced to do. Which is not being able to respond to mail, not being able to keep up on current music, and I’m pretty much locked away a lot. The outside world is pretty foreign to me.

The problem is that at a lot of big companies, process becomes a substitute for thinking. You’re encouraged to behave like a little gear in a complex machine. Frankly, it allows you to keep people who aren’t that smart, who aren’t that creative.

And you know, I’ve had great fun turning quite a lot of different industries on their head and making sure those industries will never be the same again, because Virgin went in and took them on.

Music has the power to inspire the world.

When you revolutionize education, you’re taking the very mechanism of how people be smarter and do new things, and you’re priming the pump for so many incredible things.

Woz is living his own life now. He hasn’t been around Apple for about five years. But what he did will go down in history.

It’s so sweet, I feel like my teeth are rotting when I listen to the radio.

If Al Gore invented the Internet, I invented spell check.

You can’t be in love with a Google search.

I grew up on the Beatles; I love Linkin Park and Green Day. I heard hip-hop for the first time at 11 and realized what I was missing.

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