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.

I used to wake up and look at our analytics and think, “What if yesterday was the last day anyone used Pinterest?” Like, everyone collectively decided, “We’re done!” Over time I got more confidence.

We want the average person to use it and think that it makes the experience of using Pinterest better.

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.

What you collect says so much about who you are.

If Google teaches you anything, it's that small ideas can be big.

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