"[Steve] Jobs came into the office, as he does now, dressed in Levi's, but at that time that wasn't quite the thing to do, ...and I believe he had a goatee and a mustache and long hair—and he had just come back from six months in India with a guru, learning about life. I'm not sure, but it may have been a while since he had a bath. ..and he was very, very thin. ...Steve Wozniak on the other hand, had a full beard and he's just not the kind of a person you'd give a lot of money to" ¹
"...Steve Jobs was a problem; he was very headstrong, very much the enfant terrible... He upset people at the company and wanted to do his own thing, and wouldn't tell people what he was doing - and yet he was one of the big shareholders. So finally we decided to take his [CEO] position away from him." ²
"...and Steve was even so charismatic that he got one of its competitors, Microsoft, to invest in Apple because otherwise Apple would have gone bankrupt. Steve is a national treasure; there is no doubt about it in my mind, but he doesn't invent things. All he does is take other people's ideas and promote them. He has design ideas; he has ideas where things should go, but he doesn't do them." ³
² Rock on why Jobs was fired as Apple's CEO.
³ Rock on Jobs' charms.
