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.

The companies that I really admire the most are the ones that have a deep visceral understanding of why people use their service, and they figure out ways of making money that are completely consistent with how people are feeling and what they are doing at the time.

As a kid, I always idolized entrepreneurs. I thought they were cool people in the way that I thought basketball players were cool people. It's cool that some people get paid to dunk basketballs, but I'm not one of those people.

We're trying to do something so that when the average person uses Pinterest, it has to make the service 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.

There's a lot of pressure to look like the last company that was successful.

What you collect says so much about who you are.
