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

Most people generalize whatever they did, and say that was the strategy that made it work.

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.

I was obsessed with this idea that these things that you collect, they just say so much about who you are. I can't say it came from hard-nosed business analysis... It was just something I really want to see built.

I look around my neighborhood, and I see people hailing a cab or ordering their food and then paying for it all with their phone. I've read about that stuff for a really long time, and now it's starting to become commonplace.

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.

What you collect says so much about who you are.
