"Once the product's task is known, design the interface first; then implement to the interface design."
"I've moved on, grown and learned in the years since then, and am designing interfaces that make the Mac's GUI feel as clumsy to use as the Mac made the old DOS-based systems feel primitive."
"How in the world do you sell something that's different? That's the biggest problem. The world's not quite ready to believe. It's like in the early days at Apple, they said, "What's it good for?"

Some people will try it and say, "This product really gets my job done. It doesn't have fifteen fonts.
