In 1980, business at my company, Chuck E. Cheese's, was thriving and I was feeling flush. So I bought a very large house on the Champ de Mars in Paris, right between the Eiffel Tower and the Ecole Militaire. The home was quite amazing: At six stories, it spanned 15,000 square feet and featured marble staircases and a swimming pool in the basement.

We're moving away from a credentialed society to a merit society.

I appreciate the fact that technology and games are a big part of life.

I'd love to design a school.

I had an awful lot of my soul invested in Atari culture.

My sweet spot is figuring out how to make a product that people love and how to refine it to make them love it more. All the rest is business noise.

I want to fix education in the world. As soon as I work on that, I am going to work on world hunger and then world peace.
