Quotes

  • The Star Trek computer doesn't seem that interesting. They ask it random questions, it thinks for a while. I think we can do better than that.
  • I have a simple algorithm, which is, wherever you see paid researchers instead of grad students, that's not where you want to be doing research.
  • If you look at things like Google Now also. Maybe you want to just have [a question] answered for you before you ask it.
  • It's hard to keep things moving. And that's always a big trick. I think for me, the key is setting really big goals. And, you know, with YouTube, I think we've had tremendous leadership, both with the founders and now with Salar, who's been running it.
  • Sometimes it’s important to wake up and stop dreaming. When a really great dream shows up, grab it
  • I don't know how long I would've stayed, to be honest.
