People are starving in the world, not because we don't have enough food, but because we're not organized. And computers are part of that.

Our mission is to organize the world's information. Clearly, the more information we have when we do a search, the better it's going to work.

The ultimate search engine would basically understand everything in the world, and it would always give you the right thing. And we're a long, long ways from that.

From a very early age, I also realized I wanted to invent things. So I became really interested in technology and also then, soon after, in business, because I figured that inventing things wasn't any good; you really had to get them out into the world and have people use them to have any effect.

The world used to think we are a land of snake charmers and black magic. But our youth has surprised the world with its IT [information technology] skills.

People say sometimes, "You work in the fastest-moving industry in the world." I don't feel that way. I think I work in one of the slowest. It seems to take forever to get anything done.
