As much as I'd like to think I'm a really good designer, I'm average.

I am human, when people write bad stuff about me it bothers me, but I know that will never end.

I was such a screwup when I got to the big leagues. I was a total idiot.

I don't hide my feelings, but when it comes to illness, I guess I don't panic. My father was the same way. I'm the provider for the family and the caretaker. If I panic, who is anybody going to run to?

There's not a long track record of people leaving professional sports to become a software developer.

In baseball, I was always in control of everything until I let the ball go.

Short of baseball and my family, it was gaming. And gaming is a $20-million to $200-million multi-year effort. It's an insane, stupid and utterly irresponsible act. But I did it.
