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

I had a desire to prove to myself that I was actually in control - that I wasnt a puppet.

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.

There is no simple answer to what I think.

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.

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