“Solve a real problem and the world is yours.”

Solve a real problem. You don’t start a company because you want to be an entrepreneur or the fame and glory that comes along with it. You become an entrepreneur to solve a real problem.

Tell anyone and everyone your idea without fear they’re going to steal it.

Recessions are great because they unlock the best people.

It’s okay to doubt yourself, it’s okay to feel down; just never give up.

People do make judgments of trust on appearance – in the real world and online.

Observe the world around you everything you do, and especially everything you hate to do.

When valuing a startup, add $500k for every engineer, and subtract $250k for every MBA.

I don’t do comedy. I think if a situation is funny you just play it for real and if it’s funny, it’s funny.

I don’t like games. You’re robbing the precious time of children to be children. They need to be in touch with the real world more.

Real wisdom is not the knowledge of everything, but the knowledge of which things in life are necessary, which are less necessary, and which are completely unnecessary to know.

Family over friends, because real friends are family.

You know its real when you are who you think you are.

Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.

The only responsibility I feel is to deliver something that’s new or at least to attempt that. The real responsibility is to entertain and to try and make people laugh.

When you’re an introvert like me and you’ve been lonely for a while, and then you find someone who understands you, you become really attached to them. It’s a real release.
