Twitter has been my life's work in many senses. It started with a fascination with cities and how they work, and what's going on in them right now.

I loved couriers. You had this transfer of physical information happening throughout the city and the world. Someone picking up the package, putting it in a bag, going somewhere, taking it out of the bag, giving it to someone else. I thought that was so cool. I wanted to map it, to see that flow on a big screen.

Revolution looks at the intersection ahead and pushes people to do the right thing.

It's empowering to be asked to look at what's possible, not told how to do it.

I am someone who tweets about what I have for breakfast, what I have for lunch, what I have for dinner, and for 99.99999 percent of the world, it's useless. It's meaningless. But for my mother, she loves it.

Twitter is the world.

I spend 90% of my time with people who don't report to me, which also allows for serendipity, since I'm walking around the office all the time. You don't have to schedule serendipity. It just happens.

There's an entire universe in every single tweet, and it all really depends on the content as far as how it's going to spread.

A number of people in the United States, almost everyone, is using plastic cards to pay for things, but it's extremely difficult to accept these cards. So let's make it's easy and take more and more of the friction out as we can.

You don't have to start from scratch to do something interesting. You don't have to start from scratch to have a massive impact on the world. You have to have a good idea. You have to convince other people of those good ideas. And you have to push as quickly as possible.

I'm less interested in how people are following each other and more interested in how they are following topics and tweets themselves. People are following more key words and concepts and more ideas and acting on those rather than individuals or organizations.

I fell in love with flora of all types, especially ferns. Loved the sparse structure and repetition of shape - almost fractal.

I think Twitter is the future of communications and Square will be the payment network.

The first complaint we hear from everyone is: 'Why would I want to join this stupid useless thing and know what my brother's eating for lunch?' But that really misses the point because Twitter is fundamentally recipient-controlled - you choose to listen and you choose to leave. But you also choose what to put down and what to share.

I love cities, and I love city governments in particular. But in politics it would have taken me 8 years from implementing a policy before I would get to see the feedback. With programming I could model the same policies and see the impact immediately. Technology is a far more efficient way to test.

My goal is to simplify complexity. I just want to build stuff that really simplifies our base human interaction.

I was fascinated with jeans, because you can impress your life upon the jeans you wear. The way you sit imprints on the jeans.
