More quotes by Sean Parker
I definitely wanted to earn my freedom. But the primary motivation wasn't making money, but making an impact.
Sean Parker
You just keep pushing yourself harder and harder to achieve more and more - I don't think it's ever quite as glamorous as it appears on the outside.
Sean Parker
At the end of the day, money is just a proxy for votes. That is what makes politics so vulnerable to social media.
Sean Parker
It’s not cool. I think being a wealthy member of the establishment is the antithesis of cool. Being a countercultural revolutionary is cool. So to the extent that you’ve made a billion dollars, you’ve probably become uncool.
Sean Parker
I've never been much of a joiner.
Sean Parker
Spotify is returning a huge amount of money. We'll overtake iTunes in terms of what we bring to the record industry in under two years.
Sean Parker
I focus on things that are the highest value and do them perfectly.
Sean Parker
My interactions with Sorkin were agonisingly weird. He is by far the weirdest person I have ever met. I had dinner with him and a few hours before I got an e-mail from his assistant saying, 'Sean, this does not need to be a long conversation. Aaron is only going to use it to win your trust.'
Sean Parker
If I were worried about my reputation, I wouldn't do anything with start-ups
Sean Parker
I think Facebook's biggest problem is the glut of information that Facebook's power users are overwhelmed with.
Sean Parker
Facebook isn't helping you make new connections, Facebook doesn't develop new relationships, Facebook is just trying to be the most accurate model of your social graph. There's a part of me that feels somewhat bored by all of this.
Sean Parker
The market is ridiculously overcrowded with early stage investors. This results in a talent drain, where the best talent gets diffused and work for their own startups.
Sean Parker
There is no simple answer to what I think.
Sean Parker
Facebook is such a basic utility. It's something that is such a part of peoples' lives, I think it's hard to imagine it going away.
Sean Parker
I've been doing a hybrid of investing and entrepreneurship, which I think initially I wasn't set out to do. But I realized it fit my personality.
Sean Parker
It would be incredibly presumptuous and self-serving of me to believe that Facebook was the end of history. The only way it could possibly be the end of history is if it becomes some sort of artificial super intelligence that takes over the world.
Sean Parker
I can sort of do what I want. Maybe I have to work harder to prove myself in some new relationship because they've heard some wacky stories about me. But at least I can get the meeting.
Sean Parker
Ever since Napster I've dreamt of building a product similar to Spotify.
Sean Parker
What comes after the revolution is inevitably bureaucracy. Whoever wins the revolution builds a bureaucracy
Sean Parker
A million dollars isn’t cool. You know what’s cool? A billion dollars.
Sean Parker
