There will be a huge, huge positive impact for society when driverless cars become a thing.

We need to figure out how to merge political progress with actual progress.

We want to get to the point that using Uber is cheaper than owning a car.

There's probably some misunderstanding of who I am and how I roll.

There is a core independence and dignity you get when you control your own time.

Based on my experience, I would say that rather than taking lessons in how to become an entrepreneur, you should jump into the pool and start swimming.

I got really good at negotiating from a place of weakness.

Immigration and openness to refugees is an important part of our country's success and, quite honestly, to Uber's.

In China, the government is involved in business in many different ways. They're involved in media and business. When you go to China, you have to rethink how you're doing everything. You have to become Chinese.

After Scour, I started a company called Red Swoosh. The idea was to take those litigants who sued us for a huge amount of money and turn them into customers with the same technology. I wanted to get them to pay me. It was a revenge business.

I was the straight-A student but sort of a little bit of debating my parents all the time, trying to find when they weren't logically correct.

Competition is fun.

If you get stuck too much with the way you want the world to be, you will find that the world passes you by.

I think that's where the world is going. People will not own cars; they'll have a service that takes them where they want to go, when they want to go there. And that's what Uber is.

I've never been derogatory towards taxi drivers.

You have to be willing to stand up for what you believe in, and the rule of law is one of those things.

Acknowledging mistakes and learning from them are the first steps.

I like to say time is a luxury.

It was a privilege to meet Rev. Jackson, and I learned a tremendous amount from his insight.

I call it dark energy. If you are unreliable, customers just disappear.

When you start to automate, you start to do the self-driving thing, you make it much more efficient. When these cars go into self-driving, you start to become a robotics company.

In my first start-up, I didn't get any salary for four years, so I had to move back with my parents.

We have to bring out the truth about how dark and dangerous and evil the taxi side is.

There will be a huge, huge positive impact for society when driverless cars become a thing.

I used to be a computer engineer, and I can make really good code, and we can make systems that work really well, and we can make the application a great experience, but when you have to translate bits to atoms, you need folks who are used to working with city governments, with state governments, and so I like to say we're in a political campaign.

Hamilton is my favorite political entrepreneur.

As an entrepreneur, I try to push the limits. Pedal to the metal.

My politics are: I'm a trustbuster. Very focused. And yeah, I'm pro-efficiency. I want the most economic activity at the lowest price possible. It's good for everybody; it's not red or blue.

There's been so much corruption and so much cronyism in the taxi industry and so much regulatory capture, that if you ask for permission upfront for something that's already legal, you'll never get it.

I've had failures myself before Uber.

If you can make it economical for people to get out of their cars or sell their cars, and turn transportation into a service, it's a pretty big deal.
