An inventor's path is chorused with groans, riddled with fist-banging and punctuated by head scratches.
Quote by -James Dyson
China can and will be an invaluable trading partner to both the U.S. and the U.K.
Quote by -James Dyson
When I started off, I was working in a shed behind my house. All I had was a drill, an electric drill. That was the only machine I had.
Quote by -James Dyson
China has all the advantages in the world. But it doesn't have a history of free thinking, risk-taking pioneers - the kind of people the U.S. is built upon.
Quote by -James Dyson
In the past, the U.K. got away with selling things that weren't unusual. Now it's no use trying to export without having something that's unusual and better.
Quote by -James Dyson
Britain's great strength is its innovative, design and engineering natural ability and we're not using it.
Quote by -James Dyson
Some people are academically inclined, some vocationally and we shouldn't penalise the latter.
Quote by -James Dyson
I want entrepreneurs to be engineers and scientists and designers; they don't necessarily have to be Internet entrepreneurs or retail entrepreneurs.
Quote by -James Dyson
I think the search engines are the new equivalent of publishing: an enabler of information.
Quote by -James Dyson
Nobody wants the expenditure of a lease on a factory which lasts 21 years. You can't plan 21 years ahead.
Quote by -James Dyson
Far too few designers put any thought into usability, ending up with a great product that's completely inaccessible.
Quote by -James Dyson
I imported the first Mac into England in 1984; you know, the beige box. I imported what I think were the first four that came into England. I never opened the instruction manual. That was the best thing about it.
Quote by -James Dyson
My interest in film is sort of catholic - apart from science fiction and horror movies, I'll watch almost everything.
Quote by -James Dyson
The Web is fascinating and transformative, but it's an easy, flashy, get-rich-quick option to the hard graft of proper industry.
Quote by -James Dyson
The media thinks that you have to make science sexy and concentrate on themes such as rivalry and the human issues.
Quote by -James Dyson
I was frustrated as a child when I had to use a vacuum. It had a screaming noise and the smell of stale dog and a lack of performance.
Quote by -James Dyson
I grew up running miles of the Norfolk coastline. I'd think nothing of a six-mile run before breakfast. I still run, though not as far and not before muesli.
Quote by -James Dyson
I think people are realizing that engineering and science are extremely good degrees to get and you'll be very highly paid once you've got them.
Quote by -James Dyson
I've obviously used fans - I wouldn't say all my life, because we couldn't afford them when I was young, but from my 20s and onwards we've had to use fans. And I've always loathed them. Everything about them. The way you adjust them, getting them at the angle you want. Carrying them. Cleaning them. The danger of putting your finger in them.
Quote by -James Dyson
Well, I'm rather attracted to rather prosaic things like vacuum cleaners and hand dryers. Where people haven't apparently made them with a great love for what they're doing.
Quote by -James Dyson
Everybody recognizes that if you can make very efficient electric motors, you can make a quantum leap forward.
Quote by -James Dyson
Cordless vacuums are designed for quick jobs, but you need enough power to do the job; you don't want the power waning over time.
Quote by -James Dyson
If you really want to improve technology, if you want things to work better and be better, you've got to protect the person who spends a lot of effort, money, and time developing that new technology.
Quote by -James Dyson
Now, we don't teach children in schools to be creative. We don't teach them to experiment. We want them to fill in the right answer, tick the right answer in the box.
Quote by -James Dyson
Engineers are behind the cars we drive, the pills we pop and the way we power our homes.
Quote by -James Dyson
I'm not into politics but I am committed to a cause: ensuring design technology and engineering stays on the U.K. curriculum, alongside science and maths - grounding abstract theory, merging the practical with the academic.
