I think anyone who makes products has this simultaneous joy and, almost, shame looking at it. You look at it all day and all you can see is all these things you want to make better.

When Pinterest works well, it helps you find things that are meaningful to you. We want to build a system that helps you do that.

I want Pinterest to be human. The Internet's still so abstract... To me, boards are a very human way of looking at the world.

I look around my neighborhood, and I see people hailing a cab or ordering their food and then paying for it all with their phone. I've read about that stuff for a really long time, and now it's starting to become commonplace.

One of the things I've learned is to be receptive of feedback.

I was obsessed with this idea that these things that you collect, they just say so much about who you are. I can't say it came from hard-nosed business analysis... It was just something I really want to see built.

I think the thing that I've learned is that really great people, they actually want to work on hard problems.
