I really value passion for the product above experience.

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.

The best feature is less features.

Great products sell themselves.

I don't think you should ever start a business and move in a direction where you can't see it becoming a business.

I grew up as a photo nut. Every Christmas I would get a new camera. It's a huge part of my life.

Instagram is a media company. I think we're about visual media. I explain ourselves as a disruptive entertainment platform that enables communication through visual media. I don't think it's just photos. There's a reason we don't allow you to upload photos on the Web as albums. It's not about taking all these photos off your DSLR putting them into an album and sharing them with your family. It's not about that. It's about what are you up to right now out in the real world, how can you share that with everyone.
