We started YouTube to democratize video distribution. Now, we are democratizing video creation.

I think the success around any product is really about subtle insights. You need a great product and a bigger vision to execute against, but its really those small things that make the big difference.

There's always going to be a place for YouTube.

With YouTube - with the Internet in general - you have information overload. The people who dont necessarily get credit are the curators.

The iPad - is that a phone or a computer? If I put it on my wall is it a TV?

As you start building the product, don't assume that you know all the answers. Listen to the community and adapt. We had a lot of our own ideas about how the service would evolve. Coming from PayPal and eBay, we saw YouTube as a powerful way to add video to auctions, but we didn't see anyone using our product that way, so we didn't add features to support it.

Running helped me learn how to deal with failure, and failure is a big part of the Internet business.
