我认为我从来没有在什么事情上如此努力过，但开发Macintosh是我一生中最棒的体验。几乎参与开发的所有人都会这样说。最后，没有人希望发布Macintosh。就好像我们知道它一旦不在我们手中，就不再属于我们一样。当我们最终在股东大会上展示时，全体观众鼓掌足足五分钟。我觉得不可思议的是，我能看到Mac团队就坐在前几排。彷佛我们都无法相信我们真的会完成它。大家都开始哭了起来。[《花花公子》杂志，1985年2月1日]

On His Products
“I don’t think I’ve ever worked so hard on something, but working on Macintosh was the neatest experience of my life. Almost everyone who worked on it will say that. None of us wanted to release it at the end. It was as though we knew that once it was out of our hands, it wouldn’t be ours anymore. When we finally presented it at the shareholders’ meeting, everyone in the auditorium gave it a five-minute ovation. What was incredible to me was that I could see the Mac team in the first few rows. It was as though none of us could believe we’d actually finished it. Everyone started crying.” [Playboy, Feb. 1, 1985]

Playboy: We were warned about you: Before this Interview began, someone said we were “about to be snowed by the best.” [Smiling] “We’re just enthusiastic about what we do.” [Playboy, Feb. 1, 1985]

“We made the buttons on the screen look so good you’ll want to lick them.” [On Mac OS X, Fortune, Jan. 24, 2000]

“It will go down in history as a turning point for the music industry. This is landmark stuff. I can’t overestimate it!” [On the iTunes Music Store, Fortune, May 12, 2003]

“Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything. … One is very fortunate if you get to work on just one of these in your career. Apple’s been very fortunate it’s been able to introduce a few of these into the world.” [Announcement of the iPhone, Jan. 9, 2007]
