Nolan Bushnell is the type of person who seems to always have an idea. To that end, he also follows through and works to implement the idea.

In an interview with CNN in 2002, he was asked about his ability to continue being inspired. In that interview, he bluntly explained what it takes to become a successful entrepreneur.

“Any idiot who’s taken a shower has had a good idea,” he says. “It’s what you do after you get out of the shower that counts.”

Nolan was never one to hold back.
