More quotes by Sean Parker
I focus on things that are the highest value and do them perfectly.

It seems like the right thing to do is tackle problems other people aren't working on.

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.'

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.

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
At every point I am besieged by people who would like me to conform to some social norm of whatever sort of social group they expect me to be a part of. I never have any identification with these social groups.

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
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
There is no simple answer to what I think.
Sean Parker
I definitely wanted to earn my freedom. But the primary motivation wasn't making money, but making an impact.
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 think Facebook's biggest problem is the glut of information that Facebook's power users are overwhelmed with.
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
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
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.
