I believe that in games, when you're talking about pitting my wits and my brain against your wits and your brain, that simplicity of the game becomes a dominant factor.

In 1989, SimCity introduced an entirely new brand of game play.

I think in terms of businesses, in terms of things that are really big and marry technology with entertainment. That's where I like to spend my time.

I like games where you can use stealth and guile. As you get older, it's like the difference between playing squash and racketball. Squash is an older man's game, because if you're stealthy and wily, you can beat a better-co-ordinated and stronger, younger person.

A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.

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

People like secrets. Creative people really like secrets.
