“Young people are just smarter.”

You can download good music from internet.

I started the site when I was 19. I didn’t know much about business back then.

There are social restrictions where someone could be suppressing someone else’s freedom to express themselves.

I think that more flow of information, the ability to stay connected to more people makes people more effective as people.

The question isn’t, ‘What do we want to know about people?’ It’s, ‘What do people want to tell about themselves.

If you don’t risk anything you risk everything.

I think a simple rule of business is, if you do the things that are easier first, then you can actually make a lot of progress.

I generally think if you do good things for people in the world, that comes back and you benefit from it over time.

People developed planes first and then took care of flight safety. If people were focused on safety first, no one would ever have built a plane.

Helping a billion people connect is amazing, humbling and by far the thing I am most proud of in my life.

There are many machines throughout history that were built to do something better than a human can.

I believe governments should take a more active role around important issues like balancing expression and safety.

Connecting the world is really important, and that is something that we want to do.

The scale of the technology and infrastructure that must be built is unprecedented, and we believe this is the most important problem we can focus on.

I’m trying to make the world a more open place by helping people connect and share.

You don’t let people deter you. Thats how you do it.

It is awareness of both our shared pain and our longing for happiness that links us to other people and helps us to turn toward them with compassion.

Performing is my therapy, to become different people onstage.

The first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground, bethought himself of saying ‘this is mine’, and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society.

Love is love! People should be able to do whatever makes them happy!

Don’t care what people gonna think of you, do what you wanna do and seek just your happiness.

What experience and history teaches us is that people and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.

If people want a role model, they can have Miley Cyrus!

The richest people in the world aren’t particularly smart or happy. And the happiest people in the world aren’t particularly smart or rich. That leaves me making music. But we can’t talk about that.
