The key word in profiteering is profit.

My parents were immigrants and janitors.

My investors expect me to maximize profits.

Blame me for capitalism. Blame me for EpiPen.

Politics are well past logic. It's entertainment.

I want to cure many diseases and save children's lives.

I've been a jerk on the internet since the internet started.

Who else is putting seven figures down for unreleased rap tracks?

I always wanted to start a public company and make a lot of money.

My whole life has been one theme of self-sacrifice for my investors.

I don't mean to be presumptuous, but I liken myself to the robber barons.

You know that being a public figure is instantly grounds for prosecution.

My shareholders expect me to make the most profit. That's the ugly, dirty truth.

There are some people who have a low tolerance for criticism. I'm not one of those people.

Everybody's doing it. In capitalism, you try to get the highest price you can for a product.

Bloomberg is an overpriced legacy software system that subsidizes a money-losing media company.

Donald Trump is a dream for business people like me. I think Trump's going to make pharma great again.

I'd like to focus on my life on creating new medicines for people who are suffering from rare disease.

I don't buy fancy things. I donated $2 million to Wu-Tang. I got a mixtape in return. It was a wonderful investment.

Politicians love to beat up on guys that are seen to be public enemies, if you will. That's a great way to get elected.

I had an investor who said to me he'd keep his money with me as long as I didn't have a girlfriend and I didn't start combing my hair.

I did sleep on the floor of my office sometimes. I didn't brush my teeth as often as I should have. I think my hygiene has improved quite a bit.

I have this fringe theory that I've sort of stress-tested a little bit - the more polarising and popular a case is, the more likely an acquittal.

Invariably, when people read the headline about Martin Shkreli, they hate Martin Shkreli. When they get to know Martin Shkreli, they love Martin Shkreli.

If you have a drug that is $100 for one course of therapy, and you know that you can charge $100,000, what should shareholders think when you say, 'I'd rather not take the heat'?

I do have what I believe to be a two-CD, authentic, 'Carter V' final product mixed down. Nobody knows what 'Tha Carter V' is. In fact, nobody can say until Lil Wayne says, 'This is 'Tha Carter V.''

Most of the drug CEOs I know, they're not themselves - they're what people want them to be. It's pretty obvious of the different drug executives. They're old white men, very buttoned up. They're appropriate, so to speak. I'm a little bit more irreverent, and I'm not going to change just because I have this job.
