More quotes by 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
You can now be a master of your own destiny. I'm not sure why you would sign up with a record label.
Sean Parker
I've never been much of a joiner.
Sean Parker
It seems like the right thing to do is tackle problems other people aren't working on.
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
A million dollars isn’t cool. You know what’s cool? A billion dollars.
Sean Parker
I suffer from the delusion that every product of my imagination is not only possible, but always on the cusp of becoming real.
Sean Parker
What comes after the revolution is inevitably bureaucracy. Whoever wins the revolution builds a bureaucracy
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 think the perception of wealth and power is that things just become easier and easier when in reality as you raise the stakes things become more stressful.
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
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
Ever since Napster I've dreamt of building a product similar to Spotify.
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 lived on couches for something like six months. I had no home. I was totally broke. I would stay at a friend's house for two weeks, then move because I didn't want to become this permanent mooch.
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
If I were worried about my reputation, I wouldn't do anything with start-ups
Sean Parker
I focus on things that are the highest value and do them perfectly.
Sean Parker
I definitely wanted to earn my freedom. But the primary motivation wasn't making money, but making an impact.
Sean Parker
