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

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.

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

Running a start-up is like eating glass. You just start to like the taste of your own blood.

There's definitely some sort of dissent brewing between record labels, publishing companies and artists [about the compensation they get from streaming services] Spotify is returning a HUGE amount of money [to the record labels]. If we continue growing at our current rate in terms of subscriptions and downloads, we'll overtake iTunes in terms of contributions to the recorded music business in under two years.
