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.'

Little startups are ridiculously overfunded.

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.

Gray hats are the ones who think they're doing good, but they're not. You learn that when the FBI shows up on your doorstep.

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

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.

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