I realized ceativity is a renewable resource. You never run out of good ideas

I never even graduated college. I never finished learning, as it were, and I have a psychological need to be in a learning environment at all times.

I mean, even when it's really simple, there's so much amazing beautiful creativity that can come out of that.

You can shut down a service, and yet people will find ways to communicate.

I started designing book jackets, which was great because I was good at it. And then from there I decided to become a freelance graphic designer and I needed to expand beyond book jackets, so I taught myself web design, and then in 1999 some friends of mine decided to start a company called Xanga.com, which was a very early kind of social network slash blogging community.

The future of marketing is philanthropy.

Have confidence in your ideas before they even exist.
