You need to invent things and you need to get them to people. You need to commercialize those inventions. Obviously, the best way we've come up with doing that is through companies.

Our mission is to organize the world's information. Clearly, the more information we have when we do a search, the better it's going to work.

If you’re not doing some things that are crazy, then you’re doing the wrong things.

We are excited about Internet access in general. With better access to the Internet, people do more searches.

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

Artificial intelligence would be the ultimate version of Google. The ultimate search engine that would understand everything on the Web. It would understand exactly what you wanted, and it would give you the right thing. We're nowhere near doing that now. However, we can get incrementally closer to that, and that is basically what we work on.

You never lose a dream, it just incubates as a hobby.
