I'm certainly not into money and prestige. For me there is simply nothing more exciting than people involved in the creation of great products. That is what drives me.

Execute like there's no tomorrow, strategize like there will be.

Startups often win because it's easier to see what comes next when you don't have to worry about maintaining what came last.

Opportunity lives at the intersection of what people need tomorrow and can be just barely built today.

My workday begins around 11 A.M., with a cup of black coffee in each hand. If I had more hands, there would be more coffee.

The product that wins is the one that bridges customers to the future, not the one that requires a giant leap.

Better to be too early and have to try again, than be too late and have to catch up.

Focus too much on the near-term and you won't get tomorrow's customers, focus too much on the long-term and you won't get today's.

As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.

Once causes are determined, then there is talk of "social injustice" and the privileged begin to resist.

The main thing I don't like about myself is an absurd level of self-consciousness that makes any sort of social encounter an ordeal for me.

I see my writing happening more naturally. Just to relax into it and capture all of the good stuff in a calm and connected fashion.

Demi Moore is a terrific woman and a hell of an actress.

My moods are continuously shifting like the weather.
