Am I going to regret leaving Wall Street? No. Will I regret missing the beginning of the Internet? Yes.

In Seattle you haven't had enough coffee until you can thread a sewing machine while it's running.

I don't want to use my creative energy on somebody else's user interface.

What's dangerous is not to evolve.

When [competitors are] in the shower in the morning, they're thinking about how they're going to get ahead of one of their top competitors. Here in the shower, we're thinking about how we are going to invent something on behalf of a customer.

If you are going to do large-scale invention, you have to be willing to do three things: You must be willing to fail; you have to be willing to think long term; and you have to be willing to be misunderstood for long periods of time.

I’m a big fan of all-you-can-eat plans, because they’re simpler for customers.
