2011 Larry Page speaking at Zeitgeist Americas
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugMsfL_pd8M
- very interesting talk
- his parents gave him the autobiography of Tesla at age 12, which taught Page that you could be an absolutely brilliant inventor and yet die a failure if you don't have the business ability to transform your inventions into successful products.
- ~3:50 he says the two things that have really made Google successful are 1) focusing on the user experience and 2) iterating very quickly.
~13:00 - he says most people tend to OVERestimate what will happen in the next year, and UNDERestimate what will happen in the next 5 years.
2012.05.12 - Larry Page Interview with Charlie Rose
http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/12366
Q: Why did you want to be CEO?
A: Dodged / didn't answer the question.
Q: Is Google different with you as CEO?
A: We were struggling with all the stuff Google was trying to do. They were doing a thousand different things. Larry is going to try to focus the company on a few things that he thinks are going to be very big. Steve Jobs' advice was: Stay focused and do what you do very well. Page says Jobs told him that many times. It's something that Henry Ford says over and over in his autobiography.
Q: Can people duplicate Google's success?
A: Coming out of a university is a good way; HP did it that way. It's good because you start from a very deep understanding of a subject.
~10:00-15:00 Page discusses how Facebook won't release users' data to Google. Page doesn't say the obvious, which is that Facebook would be in grave danger if their users could access their friend/photo data from any of a number of vendors (eg being able to get all the data you have on Facebook via a Google Plus interface).
~15 I'm noticing that he's saying "you know" a lot.
22:00 - Q: Why'd you buy Android?
A: We were trying to improve the user experience for phones but it was too hard because we don't have control over the phones.
Q: ~23 What'd Steve Jobs think about your buying Motorola?
A: He wasn't happy, but we bought Android in '05 before Apple had released the iPhone. He claims he didn't know Apple was going to release the iPhone at that time.

2014.03 - Larry Page: Where’s Google going next?
http://www.ted.com/talks/larry_page_whe ... going_next
- a lot of stuff was said that you can find in Larry's other speeches, but one new thing was something he said at the very end, in response to Charlie Rose's last question:
Q: [Basically, "what single quality do you most attribute your success to?"]
A: You know, I think the most important thing--You know, I looked at lots of companies, and why I thought they...don't succeed over time. We've had a more rapid turnover of companies. And I said, "What did they fundamentally do wrong? What did those companies all do wrong?", and they usually--it's just they miss the future. And so I think, for me, I just try to focus on that and say, "What is that future really going to be and how do we create it? And how do we cause our organization, to really focus on that and drive that at a really high rate?" And so that's been curiosity, it's been looking at things people might not think about, working on things that no one else is working on--because that's where the additionality really is--and be willing to do that, to take that risk. Look at Android. I felt guilty about working on Android when it was starting. It was a little startup we bought. It wasn't really what we were really working on. And I felt guilty about spending time on that. That was stupid. That was the future, right? That was a good thing to be working on.
