Working at a startup to make a lot of money was never a thing, and that's why I decided to just finish up school. That was way more important for me.

In my fourth grade classroom, I even instituted a government structure, because I was really interested in people having positions and there being law.

People have presences, both online and in real life. You can choose to show everything, meaning all sides of you, or you can choose to be selective.

Instagram is a media company. I think we're about visual media.

I was never as focused in math, science, computer science, etcetera, as the people who were best at it. I wanted to create amazing screensavers that did beautiful visualizations of music. It's like, "Oh, I have to learn computer science to do that."

There's real beauty in pushing yourself to expose the real you in more ways.

I actually think some of my best moments in life have been while I was with people from Instagram - whether it's super late nights getting a release out or being able to travel to places I'd never visited and meeting some of the most interesting people I've ever met.
