“Me, personally, I don't upload video to YouTube.”

“As long as I can remember, I was drawing or trying to create something.”

“YouTube is becoming much more than an entertainment destination.”

“There's always going to be a place for YouTube.”

“When you have a group of engineers and designers, they are not exactly the best to deal with copyright law.”

“To see how YouTube has become part of pop culture, it's been just amazing.”

“Fashion brands looking for explosive growth go the wholesale route, to get their products into stores, but then they end up relying on those sales.”

“Everyone wants to be recognized.”

“When I started running cross-country and track in high school, literally every race was a failure.”

“I think you will see a point where the traditional model of advertising on TV or advertising online will go, and advertisers will cover one programme, no matter what platform it's being broadcast on. You'll see the same ads whether you are watching it on your TV, your computer or your phone.”

“Facebook and Twitter have a ton of information they're trying to make sense of.”

“The power of digital distribution over physical retail outlets is you have a chance to create a global audience.”

“Today, technology asks too much of people.”

“There's something very satisfying about creating a tactile product.”

“I love video.”

“I think a lot of people may have a unique insight or some idea that they feel could be a great solution for a particular problem, but for some reason never have a chance to try or never have the courage or maybe the self-doubt. Really, it's best just to remain naive and continue to work on things and see if people have the same problems.”

“YouTube is committed to balancing the needs of the fan community with those of copyright holders.”

“There's not really any safe places on the Internet.”

“I feel like there's a lot of noise in the social space. The Vines and Instagrams of the world are gaining traction, and their solutions are perfect for their communities.”

“I think the success around any product is really about subtle insights. You need a great product and a bigger vision to execute against, but it's really those small things that make the big difference.”
