I'm an inventor. I don't enjoy running the business.

I have no interest in making a work that doesn't elicit a feeling.

I never did anything worth doing by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work.

I didn't really have any interest in producing anything.

I saw that there are people who will connive against innovation. They're hostile to it. And that has shaped my behavior ever since.

I try not to invent; I try simply to translate the weird language of the natural world. And I'm not into absolute ownership of things.

I'm not really interested in making money.

I'm an inventor. I became interested in long-term trends because an invention has to make sense in the world in which it is finished, not the world in which it is started.

I have no interest in the trappings of power.

I have no interest in doing anything other than good work.
