I didn't want to lose my sense of myself in my profession.

I like to get myself in over my head.

My friend Andre said to me, 'You know, Marissa, you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself to pick the right choice, and I've gotta be honest: That's not what I see here. I see a bunch of good choices, and there's the one that you pick and make great.' I think that's one of the best pieces of advice I've ever gotten.

I really believe that the virtual world mirrors the physical world.

What you want, when you want it. As opposed to everything you could ever want, even when you don't.

I’ve come to realize that being a mother makes me a better executive, because motherhood forces prioritization. Being a mom gives you so much more clarity on what is important.

I could imagine, some number of years from now, starting my own company. But not yet. Not for a while.
