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.

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

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.

What you collect says so much about who you are.

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

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.
