Yesterday Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter interviewed Jony Ive at a San Francisco event called the New Establishment Summit – The Age of Innovation. Carter first asked Ive about what life lessons he took away working with Steve Jobs. The first thing that I've revealed was that Steve Jobs had incredible focus. "Steve was the most remarkably focused person that I've ever met in my life. What focused means is saying no to something that you know … with every bone in your body you think is a phenomenal idea and you wake up thinking about it … but you say no to it because you're focusing on something else."

For a transcript of the entire interview that covered many topics, see Business Insider's report.
