We have seen a lot of interest from Chinese developers on Google Play because the extent to which Android is used. If we can figure out a model by which we can serve those users, it would be a privilege to do so. So I don't think of China as a black hole.

We do have business relationships; we do licensing relationships, and people want to use Google services on top of Android. But in theory, you can use Android without Google.

We ship a new version of Google Play Services every six weeks. Typically, 90 percent of users are on the new version of that.

We run Android in a very open way and work closely with all partners. We work with Samsung, and I spend a lot of time with them. But we've always supported other partners.

The core of what Google is about is bringing information to people.

Obviously, you will always see more malware targeting Android because Android is used more than any smartphone platform by a pretty substantial difference.

India has long been an exporter of talent to tech companies... But it is India that's now undergoing its own revolution.

Android is one of the most open systems I've ever seen. What makes Android great is it's literally designed from the ground up to be customised in a very powerful way.

Google search was important - one of the most important applications ever on the Web. People accessed everything through a browser, and for us it was important for making sure we had an option there.

There are many powerful men and women in mobile. I'm fortunate to be part of that group. But by no means do I think I'm the most powerful person.

I think it is going to be hard for individual OEMs to create a platform on top of which people will write content and services and which users will transact.

The right moral compass is trying hard to think about what customers want.

One of the great things about an open system like Android is it addresses all ends of the spectrum. Getting great low-cost computing devices at scale to the developing world is especially meaningful to me.

There are seven billion people in the world. And I think phones are the first time most people will have access to a modern computing device. With Android, we want to enable that for people.

It's a world of multiple screens, smart displays, with tons of low-cost computing, with big sensors built into devices. At Google, we ask how to bring together something seamless and beautiful and intuitive across all these screens.

Things like WhatsApp are a great example of success that others have had on Android, which we see as welcome innovation on the platform.

The impact of giving someone a connected smartphone is no different from giving them a real computer. I look at how my kids learn and how different it is from how I learned because the impact of these things is just so huge. Sometimes I think we don't fully internalize what it is to get the power of knowledge in everyone's hand.

We need to bring Android and Chrome to every screen that matters for users, which is why we focused on phone, wearables, car, television, laptops, and even your workplace.

We don't expect Google as a first party service to provide all the answers. Part of the reason a platform is successful is because there are very very important things from other companies and other developers on top of the platform.

When you run a platform on scale, you have to make sure it's truly open. That way, not only do you do well, so do others.

There's an evolution from, today we tell computers to do stuff for us, to where computers can actually do stuff for us. For example, if I go and pick up my kids, it would be good for my car to be aware that my kids have entered the car and change the music to something that's appropriate for them.

Good companies do whatever it takes to make sure apps are great and don't hesitate to add features.

I have a secret project which adds four hours every day to the 24 hours we have. There's a bit of time travel involved.

Nest is one vertical implementation of a set of smart products for the home. But we will support other people's smart products for the home.

Computing is evolving beyond phones, and people are using it in context across many scenarios, be it in their television, be it in their car, be it something they wear on their wrist or even something much more immersive.
