Crosses Quote by Nolan Bushnell

“I don't think people understand how much hard work innovation is. That it's not just getting an idea. You really have to cross your T's and dot your I's long before you ever start on the project. I don't think people perceive that about me. I work hard.” quote by Nolan Bushnell
