I talk a lot about justice. I'm about it. I'm also about civil disobedience.

Uber riders are the most affluent, influential people in their cities.

Imagine if we could create the most just workplace in the world. We would naturally be a magnet for all the great minds out there.

We have this culture valued at Uber, which we call the champions' mind-set. And champions' mind-set isn't always about winning. It's about putting everything you have on the field, every ounce of passion and energy you have. And if you get knocked down, overcoming adversity.

There's a harsh reality to situations where demand outstrips supply.

If there was a mobility service that's cheaper than owning a car, more reliable, and you get to sit in the back seat instead of being stressed out in the front seat, why would you own a car?

We want transportation as reliable as running water.

I think a lot of folks feel like Uber was a company they missed out on. Sequoia passed on us three times.

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.

There are a lot of rules in cities that were designed to protect a particular incumbent, but not to move a city's constituents, a city's citizens, and the city itself, forward. And that's a problem.
