I don't have a boss or PR person, so I'm accountable to no one.

If Twitter genuinely wants users to buy things at scale, they have to give us a chance to consider the offers and make a decision in a matter of minutes/hours/days, not just seconds.

Buckminster Fuller - he never lost faith in the goodness of humanity.

If you follow my tweets, you know, my attention and anxiety have been increasingly focused on the plight of our democracy.

I think there wouldn't be a Net neutrality debate in this country if we really had a competitive environment for access.

I was in the room when Sundar convinced Eric Schmidt that it would be possible to unseat Internet Explorer as the world's most popular browser.

When someone comes in with a product they want in Bed Bath & Beyond, that's way out of my comfort zone.

Funny enough, the person who is most bummed out to hear I won't be back is Mark Cuban. Despite what you might surmise from on screen, he and I are actually good friends - just really competitive good friends.

There are two reasons to pursue diversity and inclusion. One, because you believe one group has benefitted from hundreds of years of discrimination, or two, maybe you don't like that women make 73 cents on the dollar compared to men.

Simplicity is hard to build, easy to use, and hard to charge for. Complexity is easy to build, hard to use, and easy to charge for.

If you're passionate about something, you can develop the abilities.

Passion is the thing that won't let you sleep at night because you want to get up in the morning and go do your thing.

A father is everything in the world.

Don't ever be afraid to hire people that are smarter than you. Just because they are smarter than you doesn't mean they have to make more money.

Everybody got a dream. What's the plan?

I grew up without a father.

I was blessed to have the guys at Bear Stearns as mentors. They taught me a lot, but most of all, they taught me that there's nothing wrong with selling if you're selling the right product to the right person.

Business school professors don't take selling seriously because they don't know how to sell. It's easy to talk about business theory and production time and just-in-time development. Selling is much more difficult.

I've never considered selling anything other than profession, but it's more than that. It's one of the highest callings that you can aspire to. Not everyone can do it.

Salespeople are the most important people in any organization. Until a salesperson gets an order, nobody in the company has a job.

The people who care the most about the folks in your community are living in the community. They don't live in Washington, D.C.

I've been saying to people for a long time, 'If you're not doing something you're tremendously excited about, and you're not feeling passionate about it, you're compromising yourself every day.'

One time, I was going to be in L.A. for 10 days for a business conference, and I took eight different pairs of sandals.
