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.

You actually don't want people thinking your product is cool, because then you're a fad.

If I were worried about my reputation, I wouldn't do anything with start-ups

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.

A million dollars isn’t cool. You know what’s cool? A billion dollars.
