I've gone on a research expedition in the Atlantic Ocean before. I was sick for the entire week after that.

You need a group of people who will continually realize that you will run into problems, and for each you will have hundreds or thousands of ways you can approach it.

What I like best is sitting in a room together with really smart engineers thinking about a problem.

We think the fastest way to clean the ocean is to learn by doing.

Our main funders... a lot of them are entrepreneurs and technologists themselves as well and familiar with iterative development processes.

It's nice there is a cleanup system, but if it doesn't collect any plastic, it's not very useful.

I've always been obsessed with technology.

To truly rid the oceans of plastic, what we need to do is two things: One, we need to clean up the legacy pollution, the stuff that has been accumulating for decades and doesn't go away by itself. But, two, we need to close the tap, which means preventing more plastic from reaching the oceans in the first place.

I think, in reality, opinions don't matter that much.

It's a very strange experience to be four or five days from the closest point of land, and you see more plastic than life.
