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

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

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.

Just build things and find out if they work.

People say doing a startup is like a marathon. It's actually a roadtrip at night with no headlights. You think you're going to Toledo but you're actually going to Miami and you might not have enough gas so you might need to buy gas from someone who might take you out if you aren't driving well

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.

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.
