By giving people the power to share, we’re making the world more transparent.

Figuring out what the next big trend is tells us what we should focus on.

The thing that’s been really surprising about the evolution of Facebook is – I think then, and I think now – that if we didn’t do this, someone else would have done it.

Open Graph is a language for structuring content and sharing that goes on in other apps, and we’re continuing to build it out longer term. But we found we need to build more specific experiences around categories like music or movies. Where we’ve taken the time to build those specific experiences, stuff has gone quite well.

Connectivity is a human right.

When we are thinking about stuff like embeds, we are not thinking about how we are competing with YouTube. We are thinking about how are we going to make it more useful for people to share stuff on Facebook.

I notice in some of the newspapers that they have taken a bit of an interest in me. According to one headline Jeremy Corbyn welcomed the prospect of an asteroid wiping out humanity. Asteroids are pretty controversial and it is not the kind of thing I would want to rule out… without a full debate at conference and a review so can we have the debate later in the week.

Matt Drudge is a great gentleman, who really – he’s got an ability to capture stories that people want to see

One of the more radical and interesting possible ways to limit the power of unaccountable media barons is to give journalists the power to elect editors and have seats on boards for workers and consumers when a title or programme gets particularly large and influential.

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.

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

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

If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you’re mis-informed.

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

It seems not more reasonable to leave the right of printing unrestrained, because writers may be afterwards censured, than it would be to sleep with doors unbolted, because by our laws we can hang a thief.

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.

[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.

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.

Fake news is at an all time high. Where is their apology to me for all of the incorrect stories???

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