I guess I'd like to be known for being an innovator, fostering creativity, thinking outside the box. You know, keeping people playful.

The true entreprenuer is a doer,not a dreamer.

The idea is to become a best-selling author first and then the rest of my books will be slam dunks.

People can buy a bottle of gin and drink it at home for about a buck a drink, whereas they are willing to go to a bar and pay 12 bucks for the same cocktail. The difference is that man needs to be social. So I believe that there is a strong demand for games that are social.

I must confess I've always had a couple of pinball machines in my home and really have enjoyed some of the old classics, like Fireball.

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 try to get a vision of the future, and then I try to figure out where the discontinuities are.
