It’s almost a compliment.

I come from a long line of inventors. This is in my blood. We are improvisors and will continue to be. Now I find there is a great suspicion and fear of inventors and the first attack is always based on the fact that they are crazy–and maybe they are. One is always crazy. Also, [our] inventions…might not make money. Money always removes the charge of craziness. – Steinbeck
