More quotes by 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 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
I definitely wanted to earn my freedom. But the primary motivation wasn't making money, but making an impact.

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
If I were worried about my reputation, I wouldn't do anything with start-ups
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 suffer from the delusion that every product of my imagination is not only possible, but always on the cusp of becoming real.
Sean Parker

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
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
Running a start-up is like eating glass. You just start to like the taste of your own blood.
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
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
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
What comes after the revolution is inevitably bureaucracy. Whoever wins the revolution builds a bureaucracy
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
I've never been much of a joiner.
Sean Parker
I focus on things that are the highest value and do them perfectly.
