I'm not a fan of simulations. Where, 'Oh, we'll go play a simulation of world peace and figure out how to make peace' and then somehow magically that will get translated into the real world. No, that's not the kind of games that I make.

When we know our strengths, we're more likely to use them.

When we play games, our brains respond differently to stress and obstacles. We're better able to control our attention and ignore distractions.

There is no problem that doesn't have some underlying need for more optimism, stamina, resilience and collaboration. And games are, I believe, the best platform we have for providing that.

Urgent optimism is the desire to act immediately to tackle an obstacle, combined with the belief that we have a reasonable hope of success.

I want to see a game designer nominated for a Nobel Prize.

If you make it a game, gamers will play it no matter what your motivation is in making it.
