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

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.'
I definitely wanted to earn my freedom. But the primary motivation wasn't making money, but making an impact.
You actually don't want people thinking your product is cool, because then you're a fad.
I think being a wealthy member of the establishment is the antithesis of cool. Being a countercultural revolutionary is cool. So to the extent that you've made a billion dollars, you've probably become uncool.
