Ever since Napster I've dreamt of building a product similar to Spotify.

Solving specific problems is what drives me. I am not interested in having a career. I never have been.

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.

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.

One of the difficulties in living the lifestyle I lead is that it is hard to get my friends in one place.

Your biggest challenge as an entrepreneur is not concealing your idea from others or keeping your idea a secret, it is actually convincing people that you're not crazy and that you can pull this off.

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