I've become addicted to playing poker because you're constantly faced with confusion, and winning is trying to make sense out of nonsense.

I find podcasting an enticing space.

Back in the '90s, folks were not sure if they could trust the Web, and frankly, a lot of the services back then didn't provide massive value.

Just start thinking about all the different services in your life. Like getting your dry cleaning picked up and dropped off. Nobody has done the Uber of that yet. But that will be Uberfied. You will arrange your dry cleaning via your phone.

The idea is that angel investors are supposed to be wealthy people supporting people who need funds, typically who are not wealthy, and don't have the ability to do it themselves.

I don't need YouTube's money. I have my own money.

If you get people to commit to an email relationship, it's the deepest, most intimate relationship you can have online. Much deeper than Facebook and certainly more intimate than a blog.

After Sept. 11, New York wasn't the same, and that's part of the reason why I left.

You can't be ever embarrassed about hustling.

I like to get attention for the things I think are important. And I think it is important that entrepreneurs - especially young ones - not be abused.

That's one of the things I love about entrepreneurship is that if you see something that you don't like - and if you think you have a better idea - you can pursue your model.

As the founder of your company, you must be in love with your brand and inspired by your brand's mission if you have any hope of getting press for your product.
