I find out what the world needs. Then I go ahead and try to invent it.

From a very early age, I also realized I wanted to invent things. So I became really interested in technology and also then, soon after, in business, because I figured that inventing things wasn't any good; you really had to get them out into the world and have people use them to have any effect.

To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.

Anything that won't sell, I don't want to invent. Its sale is proof of utility, and utility is success.

Invention is not enough. Tesla invented the electric power we use, but he struggled to get it out to people. You have to combine both things: invention and innovation focus, plus the company that can commercialize things and get them to people.

As a company, one of our greatest cultural strengths is accepting the fact that if you're going to invent, you're going to disrupt.
