Interview to Steve Jobs

The interview broadcast on the television program "El Hormiguero", in 2009


Interviewer: Tonight I'm going to interview Steve Jobs, the co-founder and CEO of Apple and shareholder of The Walt Disney Company.
  Good evening Steve Jobs, you're welcome to our program.
Interviewee: It's a pleasure to be here.
Interviewer: So I will start with the questions. What would you say to customers who just bought a new iPhone for $ 599? I'm sorry?
Interviewee:  This is technology, if they bought it this morning they should go back to the store and talk to them. If they bought it a month ago, well, that's what happens with technology.
Interviewer. So what about your agreement to distribute the Beatles music on iTunes? What is the status?
Interviewee:  We would love to have the Beatles. And it will end up happening... I hope that for the first half of the next year. As soon as they are ready, we will be too.
Interviewer: There's a lot of people that already have the Beatles music in CDs. Are you sure they will buy something they already have in iTunes?
Interviewee:  Yes, I believe in that. It's just what happened with the rest of the record industry.
Interviewer: iPod touch is really similar to iPhone. The only thing missing is the integrated camera and the telephone function in iPod touch. Are you worried about they could look too similar?
Interviewee: Well, I reckon they have similarity, but this is not something to worry about, because there's no rival, and we can't lose money.
Interviewer: It is speculated that in the future artificial intelligence will be one of the most important aspects of modern technology.
Are you worried that this may affect your company, or how can it be a way to innovate and increase Apple's popularity?
Interviewee: No, I think it will be a favor for us, because we have one of the best computer support specialized in robotics and artificial intelligence.
Interviewer: I'm impressed. I'm sorry Steve but we beat the interviewing time. Thanks for coming to our program tonight.
Interviewee: Thanks for inviting me, it has been entertaining.

-Interviewer: Good Afternoon, Ms Gozálvez. I'm Meghan Possi and today I will be in charge of your interview.
-Interviewee: I'm so excited to have an opportunity to apply for this work, I think I will be a great English Teacher.
-Interviewer: Let's get started. I've taken a look at your CV and I would like to ask some questions about it.
First of all, why have you applied for this job?
-Interviewee: Well, as you have already seen in my CV I have a B2 level of English. I really enjoy learning english. Watching films on Netflix motivates me to learn even more, and I've always found english easy. I'd like to share this passion and knowledge with the kids at the camp, so they can learn this language and manage to watch videos in english, hold conversations, or read books.
-Interviewer: What do you consider you biggest flaw?
-Interviewee: Definitely laziness, I tend to procrastinate a lot when it comes to deadlines, and yet I manage to finish it all, correctly and at time. But this won't happen in this case, I ackdnowledge the situation and I have already made up my mind about the importance of teaching these kids.
-Interviewer: Just one last question, why do you think we should choose you?

Also, since I'm very passionate for this job and this language, I think that shows when I teach classes. I consider passion as a very good quality and  necessary for the job, because when you are passionate about the subject you teach, the students perceive it, and they are more likely to be eager to learn.
-Interviewer: Well, that's everything. As soon as we make a decision we will call you or let you know through email.
-Interviewee: Thank you very much.

Presentor - Hey hey hey, we are today as always in the TV show FURCIÉLAGO. Today it’s a special day, today we have a special guest, Steve Jobs.

S. J. - Hi, thanks for receiving me, it’s always a pleasure for me even if you all know that I'm dead.

Presentor – The pleasure it’s mine. So first of all, we can start talking about yourself because I’m sure lots of people don’t know about your normal life ans habits.

S. J. – Okay, I’m excited. Let’s go on!

Presentor – Yeah, sure. Tell me about when you were nobody, did you think you would get this far?

S. J. - That’s a really nice question. Of course, I didn’t realise I would get this far. But none of this wouldn’t have been possible without dedication, effort and a great attitude.

Presentor – Our lives can change in a radical way. And apart from computers and all related to this, do you have any other hobbies when you’re tired of so much computer?

S. J. - I have a secret hobby that nobody knows, well, it’s not quite a hobby but I think it’s the moment to give birth of it.

Presentor – So, come on explain it, if it’s possible, of course. We don’t want to put pressure on you.

S. J. - As I’ve said before, it’s important the dedication and a great attitude to succeed, but there are other qualities that I think are more important. One of those is to have leadership skills, and also you have to be a very good at problem-solving to solve any type of problem that could happen. Another thing that is vital to succeed is that if you don’t have the things clear, you will never end up getting your purposes.

Interviewer: Thank you for answering some questions for us! Where did you grow up?

Steve: In San Francisco. I was born on February 24, 1955.

Interviewer: What were your favorite subjects at school? What did you want to do as a child?

Steve: My favorites subjects were physics, mathematics, and technology. I wanted to do something related to physics.

Interviewer: Have you ever imagined that you would create a company as big as Apple or Pixar?

Steve: The truth is that I never imagine it, life goes around a lot. I never imagined that I would leave my university career and end up creating a great company like apple and less than years later I would be kicked out of this and founded Pixar.

Interviewer: Why do you think your computers were so successful and so special?

Steve: As I said before, life goes around a lot. When I left university, I didn't know what to do with my life, so I decided to go to classes that will get my attention.

Apple computers were the first to have different types of letters making them different from those of Windows.

Interviewer: What did you feel when they kicked you out of your company?

Steve: The first months were horrible, I felt lost without knowing what to do. But now I see it and I think it was one of the best things that could happen to me in life.

Interviewer: How did you get back to Apple?

Steve: Months after the creation of Pixar and thanks to its success Apple bought Pixar and thats how I came back.
