My perception is that I'm a guy who really does a lot of homework surrounding any project that I do.

Atari always was a technology-driven company, and we were very keen on keeping the technological edge on everything. There's a whole bunch of things that we innovated. We made the first computer that did stamps or sprites, we did screen-mapping for the very first time, and a lot of stuff like that. We had some of the most sophisticated sound-creating systems, and were instrumental in MIDI.

I don't think people understand how much hard work innovation is. That it's not just getting an idea. You really have to cross your T's and dot your I's long before you ever start on the project. I don't think people perceive that about me. I work hard.

If you're willing to work harder than anybody else, you can create your own luck

I just want the future to happen faster. I can't imagine the future without robots.

I've always thought legal addictions are a great way to create a business. Starbucks is a wonderful example.

I'm glad to see the casual game play coming back now on the Internet, games that aren't violent, that aren't complex that you can sit down and you can have some fun.
