If history is any indication, all truths will eventually turn out to be false.

Every once in a while, a new technology, an old problem, and a big idea turn into an innovation.

My biggest worry is I'm running out of time and energy. Thirty years ago I thought 10 years was a really long time.

I do not want to waste any time. And if you are not working on important things, you are wasting time.

A patent, or invention, is any assemblage of technologies or ideas that you can put together that nobody put together that way before. That's how the patent office defines it. That's an invention.

I don't work on a project unless I believe that it will dramatically improve life for a bunch of people.
