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.

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.

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.

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

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 transition strategies are more important than understanding what the outcome state will be.

You want people using your product because it's a part of your life, then they can't stop using it.
