Quote by -James Dyson
I'm afraid I am tidy, and I have to be because the office is open plan and my glass office door is literally always open.
Quote by -James Dyson
The way the world is going, it's technology driven. And it isn't just driven by the old super powers, it's driven by the far east and new emerging economies.
Quote by -James Dyson

If you didn't have patents, no one would bother to spend money on research and development. But with patents, if someone has a good idea and a competitor can't copy it, then that competitor will have to think of their own way of doing it. So then, instead of just one innovator, you have two or three people trying to do something in a new way.
Quote by -James Dyson

You don't get inspiration sitting at a drawing board or in front of your computer.
Quote by -James Dyson
If you invent something, you're doing a creative act. It's like writing a novel or composing music. You put your heart and soul into it, and money. It's years of your life, it's your house remortgaged, huge emotional investment and financial investment.
Quote by -James Dyson
The U.S. is the biggest investor in research and development in the world. It has the best universities. Keeping them supplied with the best talent is essential.
Quote by -James Dyson
Apartments are getting smaller on a whole. Houses are getting smaller. People don't need great big vacuums anymore.
Quote by -James Dyson

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.
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
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.
