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.

What you collect says so much about who you are.

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.

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

I always read about these stories of entrepreneurs - it’s like they’re in the desert with no water, and they’re the ones that survive. But I’ve been really fortunate to have people on my team who are optimistic about the future and who know that if you work through hard times that there’s usually something good at the end.

I always just want to move along to the next step.

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.
