Almost everyone who has had an idea that's somewhat revolutionary or wildly successful was first told they're insane.

My job as a leader is to make sure everybody in the company has great opportunities, and that they feel they're having a meaningful impact and are contributing to the good of society. As a world, we're doing a better job of that. My goal is for Google to lead, not follow that.

If you're changing the world, you're working on important things. You're excited to get up in the morning.

Technology should do the hard work, so you can get on and live your life. We're only at one percent of what's possible, and we're moving slow relative to the opportunity we have.

Many leaders of big organizations, I think, don't believe that change is possible. But if you look at history, things do change, and if your business is static, you're likely to have issues.

I really like using my Samsung (005930:KS) tablet. I previously used the Motorola Xoom for a while and liked that.

If we were motivated by money, we would have sold the company a long time ago and ended up on a beach.
