- I hated fantasy as a child and I still hate it. And I don't like science fiction. I think it's a sort of science substitute. It's a pity because science really is so interesting.
- [on choosing to hire inexperienced engineers] I prefer to get people who are - and this is a horrid thing to say- unsullied. I want people to think they're pioneering something. I want us all to be fresh, know nothing and be willing to experiment on something new. I'm very keen on wrong thinking.
- I try to recruit everybody as a graduate, because they have no baggage, they have enthusiasm and curiosity. I think experience can be fine in certain situations and with certain companies. But when you're doing something very different, it's often best done by people who have done nothing before.
