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.

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

Little startups are ridiculously overfunded.

You can now be a master of your own destiny. I'm not sure why you would sign up with a record label.

I suffer from the delusion that every product of my imagination is not only possible, but always on the cusp of becoming real.

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.

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