One of the things I've learned is to be receptive of feedback.

I thought Google was the coolest place. People there were so smart and they were all doing these really interesting things. I just felt really lucky to be a part of it even in a small way.

When Pinterest works well, it helps you find things that are meaningful to you. We want to build a system that helps you do that.

At a small company, so much of the trick is focus. Not only can you only do a finite number of things, but you have to do them in the right order.

I was obsessed with this idea that these things that you collect, they just say so much about who you are. I can't say it came from hard-nosed business analysis... It was just something I really want to see built.

I think anyone who makes products has this simultaneous joy and, almost, shame looking at it. You look at it all day, and all you can see is all these things you want to make better.
