A million dollars isn’t cool. You know what’s cool? A billion dollars.

Running a start-up is like eating glass. You just start to like the taste of your own blood.
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 suffer from the delusion that every product of my imagination is not only possible, but always on the cusp of becoming real.
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.

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
What comes after the revolution is inevitably bureaucracy. Whoever wins the revolution builds a bureaucracy
Sean Parker
If I were worried about my reputation, I wouldn't do anything with start-ups
Sean Parker
There is no simple answer to what I think.
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
I think Facebook's biggest problem is the glut of information that Facebook's power users are overwhelmed with.
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
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
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
I definitely wanted to earn my freedom. But the primary motivation wasn't making money, but making an impact.
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.
