“I think maybe the last and only biography I can remember reading was Steve Jobs biography. To be honest I did take away one or two interesting things, but I wouldn't put it even in my top hundred books of all time, maybe not even my top thousand. I just don't find biographies that interesting. I think they're just anecdotal stories.”

“I read Isaacson's biography of Jobs which I thought was quite interesting.”
