A frustration I have is that a lot of people increasingly seem to equate an advertising business model with somehow being out of alignment with your customers. I think it’s the most ridiculous concept.

I think humans are just hard-wired to process people’s faces and understand meaning and expression at such a more granular level than other types of communication.

One of the things that we’re trying to do with Creative Labs and all our experiences is explore things that aren’t all tied to Facebook identity. Some things will be, but not everything will have to be, because there are some sets of experiences that are just better with other identities.

Advertising works most effectively when it’s in line with what people are already trying to do. And people are trying to communicate in a certain way on Facebook – they share information with their friends, they learn about what their friends are doing – so there’s really a whole new opportunity for a new type of advertising model within that.

What really motivates people at Facebook is building stuff that they’re proud of.

Our philosophy is that we care about people first.

Arianna Huffington is unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man – he made a good decision.

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

You know, it really doesn’t matter what the media write as long as you’ve got a young, and beautiful, piece of ass.

What I try to keep in mind is that there are going to be a lot of articles that are going to be misrepresentative of what I’m about as a person and as a writer.

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

There’s so much comedy on television. Does that cause comedy in the streets?

We got killed in Newsweek.

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 don’t care what is written about me so long as it isn’t true.

With the press there is no ‘off the record’.

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

I actually don’t read most of the coverage about Facebook. I try to learn from getting input from people who use our services directly more than from pundits.

[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.

The media is really, the word, I think one of the greatest of all terms I’ve come up with is fake. I guess other people have used it perhaps over the years, but I’ve never noticed it.

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