What I'm really excited about is that continued challenge to create things that gamers of all experiences can play.

Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child.

Their attitude is, 'okay, I am the customer. You are supposed to entertain me.' It's kind of a passive attitude they're taking, and to me it's kind of a pathetic thing. They do not know how interesting it is if you move one step further and try to challenge yourself with more advanced games.

Players are artists who create their own reality within the game.

We can be using the same kind of technology, the same kind of techniques, but when we use it, we get something different.

Donkey Kong Country proves that players will put up with mediocre gameplay as long as the art is good.

I don't like all the attention. I think it's better to let my work do the talking.
