Mark Zuckerberg

I think Facebook is an online directory for colleges... If I want to get information about you, I just go to TheFacebook, type in your name, and it hopefully pulls up all the information I'd care to know about you.

When you give everyone a voice and give people power, the system usually ends up in a really good place. So, what we view our role as, is giving people that power.

A lot of times, I run a thought experiment: 'If I were not at Facebook, what would I be doing to make the world more open?'

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.

One of my big regrets is that Facebook hasn't had a major chance to shape the mobile operating system ecosystem.

If we're trying to build a world-class News Feed and a world-class messaging product and a world-class search product and a world-class ad system, and invent virtual reality and build drones, I can't write every line of code. I can't write any lines of code.

About half my time is spent on business operation type stuff.

The basis of our partnership strategy and our partnership approach: We build the social technology. They provide the music.

People have really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people - and that social norm is just something that has evolved over time.

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.

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.

I always tell people that you should only hire people to be on your team if you would work for them.
