For me, one of my personal inspirations was designers in the mid-20th century named Charles and Ray Eames.

Every apartment I've ever lived in has had a space to make, create, and get stuff done within eyesight of my bed.

When it comes to technology and the home, I really don't want to see any of it.

Cities are a melting pot for different ideas, and diversity brings a high-energy rhythm that I don't think we'd know was gone until it was too late.

The fear of mistakes is the fast track to irrelevance.

Of course Airbnb made mistakes the first year! Some came from our own preconceptions. When we started, we designed our interface for ourselves, Internet-savvy twentysomethings. We never considered the role of good eyesight in our interface - font size, vernacular; it all matters.

We encourage employees to ship new features on day one, which immediately encourages them to come up with something creative and different.

We've invented a new marketplace. There was no easy way to rent a person's bedroom over the Internet or book a vacation rental over the Internet. There was no guidebook for us to turn to as we defined this new marketplace.

In general, we believe in regulation - just as long as it is fair and balanced.

The question that I can't shake - it's this question that keeps coming up for me - is What does the shared home of the future look like? People are sharing homes at a rate that no one ever predicted, but residences and homes weren't designed for it. They were designed around ideas of privacy and separation.

In the future, we will see living experiences curated around a shared lifestyle.

Airbnb is about travel.

How do you convince somebody to host a stranger for the weekend? That's not a trivial thing. It's not something I think you can throw technology at, marketing at, or sales at. We threw design at it because that's all we knew, and in doing so, I feel like we brought a human touch to it, which is so needed.

There's this misconception globally that the platform is about property groups and big property owners renting out entire buildings full-time.

When we go city by city, country by country, the majority of our hosts, our owners, are simply renting out their spare bedroom.

What people demand is what the policies serve.

When the car was introduced in 1908, people could experience a brand new way to travel that was more efficient than a horse and buggy. Can you believe that cities tried to outlaw cars in the United States? Can you imagine driving a car for a year then having to go back to a horse and buggy?

As Chief Product Officer, I lead our product team to create simple, intuitive user experiences.

Design is an expression of one's most deeply rooted internal values.

Creating the future means having a global vision and an extreme focus on the approachability of what we're creating.

You get a lot of accommodations for being on scholarship, but there is too much money floating around in the NCAA to not be giving it to the people earning it.

Steph is the greatest shooter of all time. Shooting off the rack is not indicative of being a better shooter than Steph Curry.

I kind of look like I work in a Brooklyn coffee shop.

There's teams that have a lot of success in the back-to-back, and I think those teams just have a strong mental fortitude.

My hometown, first and foremost, it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. A beautiful lake town. It's one of those communities where, winter rolls around, it's exactly the same as any other small town in America. Sort of a lower socio-economic area. There isn't anything high-end necessarily anywhere around there.

Kyrie, he's got a big personality. He's one of these guys that's misunderstood. The way that he's construed in the media is probably going to paint him in a light that is not necessarily true. I'd say you could ask a lot of people that played with him and they'd all say that he's a great teammate and a good guy to be around.

I come from a town in Washington state that might not be too familiar to Clevelanders called Chelan. It's really beautiful. It's about two-and-a-half hours east of Seattle and two-and-a-half hours west of Spokane. It's right in the middle of the state.

Shooting's contagious: Guys start seeing the ball go in and everybody starts to feel good.

Kyrie is a good guy. Spent a lot of time with him over the years because we were the same class in high school and ACC when he was at Duke. Then I was with him my rookie year in Cleveland.

Every time you play against somebody like Giannis, you have to be really locked into the game plan.

I think you go across this league and you talk to every coach and every player, and dealing with a young, up-and-coming team is much different than coaching superstar players, and everybody kind of realizes that it's a much different dynamic.

I feel like I play with good poise and I know when to take my shot - and when I do, I have a lot of confidence.

If I ever got into trouble with my sisters or was slacking off, it was always my punishment that I couldn't go to a practice or a game. That was the worst thing in the world.

A lot of Washington state is beautiful. You have just tons of mountains, beautiful bodies of water, you have a lot of rolling hills in eastern Washington. I'm biased, obviously, but there's not a lot of places in the world that are like where I grew up.

Some games you're going to be able to get rolling, you're going to get in a good rhythm, you're going to be able to get open looks. Other games, sometimes the rhythm's not there and you've got to get off it a little bit.

I keep in touch with all the guys that I was training with in Chicago during the pre-draft process; Nik Stauskas, Mitch McGary, Adrien Payne, and Dougie McDermott. We all got pretty close training together and we just keep tabs every now and then.

They have great restaurants, good nightlife. Everything is here in Brooklyn that you can possibly want.

There aren't a lot of second chances for second-round picks.

I don't think too highly of myself, but at the same time, I don't think too lowly of myself.

I have off days all the time too, but nobody really cares when I have an off day. People care when Kyrie does.

When you look across the board at the count of NBA quality players that are on various international teams in Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia, there are good players all over the world now. It's just not in the NBA where America has the most talent.

To actually play a game, where you are in the World Cup, there is significance to it, the point differential matters, all these things kind of add up.

There's a tendency, guys get really excited and go through practice, and they want to stay for an extra hour after and do these workouts. What you should be doing is getting in the cold tub or getting your corrective exercises in with your strength coach, little things like that which can help you in the long run.

None of us are perfect all the time.

We're all going to have ups and downs throughout the course of the season.

I think going to Virginia and playing in that program, you definitely take a lot of ownership in the fact of possessions and understanding the value of each possession. And that goes on both ends. Trying to be as efficient as possible on the offensive end, and not turn the ball over. But then defensively, making everything tough.

Some nights, depending on who you're going up against, some guys are just capable of hitting tough shots.

Sometimes you've got to be able to finish at the rim.

Yeah, I had a good relationship with Coach Blatt. I enjoyed playing for him. But the NBA is, first and foremost, a business, and as much as you may have liked the situation you were at, sometimes it just doesn't work out your way.

There's not a lot of guys in the NBA who stick with one team for very long.
