Mark Zuckerberg

I think we basically saw that the messaging space is bigger than we’d initially realized, and that the use cases that WhatsApp and Messenger have are more different than we had thought originally.

Facebook and Instagram are both really popular with teens, both in the U.S. and globally across the world. I think what you’re starting to see is that there are all these different ways that people want to share and communicate.

If you grew up, and you never had a computer, and you’ve never used the Internet, and someone asked you if you wanted to buy a data plan, your response would be ‘What’s a data plan, and why would I want to use this?’

Our goal is not to build a platform; it’s to be cross all of them.

A squirrel dying in front of your house may be more relevant to your interests right now than people dying in Africa.

If you look at the history of our country over the last 100 years, there have been periods where science and research have been celebrated. They were really kind of held up as heroes in society, which encouraged a generation of people to go into these fields.

The most important service rendered by the press and the magazines is that of educating people to approach printed matter with distrust.

I would rather have been beaten up in the media than live a life that wasn’t happy.

[The New York Times] don’t write good. They have people over there, like Maggie Haberman and others, they don’t – they don’t write good. They don’t know how to write good.

My Twitter has become so powerful that I can actually make my enemies tell the truth.

My people keep telling me I shouldn’t write letters like this to critics. The way I see it, critics get to say what they want to about my work, so why shouldn’t I be able to say what I want to about theirs?

When I hear about negative and false attacks, I really don’t invest any energy in them, because I know who I am.

If you get good ratings, they’ll cover you even if you have nothing to say.

One thing I’ve learned about the press is that they’re always hungry for a good story, and the more sensational the better. It’s in the nature of the job, and I understand that. The point is that if you are a little different, or a little outrageous.

I’ve met some great people that deal with me in the press. I’ve also met some people that were very dishonorable, frankly.

We want someone to bring us the news.

You can’t interview my brother!… We can call this thing off – right now!

I think the 24-hour news cycle has helped exaggerate the differences between the parties. You can always find someone on TV somewhere carping about something. That didn’t happen 20 years ago.

Television is the first truly democratic culture – the first culture available to everybody and entirely governed by what the people want. The most terrifying thing is what people do want.

I can understand the British media and why they are doing that. It does not add up to much. I’m used in my life to not paying much attention to some things.

Television enables you to be entertained in your home by people you wouldn’t have in your home.
