I don't think you should ever start a business and move in a direction where you can't see it becoming a business.

Focusing on one thing and doing it really, really well can get you very far.

If you've got an idea, start today. There's no better time than now to get going.

I promise you, a lot of it is luck. But you make your own luck by working really hard and trying lots and lots of things.

Above all else, products spread when they're useful and they're usable

I think Instagram at its best is where you feel like you're getting the most authentic version of the person on the other side of the camera.

Great products sell themselves.

Our goal is to not just be a photo-sharing app, but to be the way you share your life when you're on the go.

As the price of gas goes up, people will become more conscience of how much they use.

I want to be reborn as a tree; that way I can plant my roots down, never move and can never be separated from the ones I love.

I think we're lucky because there are very few people in life who get to do what we're doing.
