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

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.

What you collect says so much about who you are.

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

There's a lot of pressure to look like the last company that was successful.

Just build things and find out if they work.

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.
