“I'm not a journalist, I'm a writer who uses the tools of journalism.”

“The first rule of blogging is that there are no rules.”

“It's all just bits.”

“Software is never done.”

“The web is the platform.”

“Don't just consume the web, create it.”

“It's not about the technology, it's about what you do with it.”

“Users have a right to their data.”

“If you want a new idea, read an old book.”

“The web is a two-way medium.”

“The goal is to make the web a more personal place.”

“The first step is to start.”

“Blogging is to writing what extreme sports are to athletics: more free-form, more accident-prone, less formal, more democratic, and not run by big corporations.”

“In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes. On the web, everyone will be famous to 15 people.”

“Let's make a deal. You don't get to tell me what to do, and I won't tell you what to do. Okay?”
