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 use Pinterest for everything. Book collections, trips, hobbies. It’s all there. I planned my wedding on it. When I had a kid, I planned all his stuff on it. So it was nice to discover that I wasn’t the only one.

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

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.

Don't take too much advice.

What you collect says so much about who you are.

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.
