I made some games, but I'm pretending like I didn't because they all turned out weird.

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.

Video games are bad for you? That's what they said about rock 'n' roll.

I never really participated in specific sports or anything, but once I hit 40, I started to get a little bit more active and began swimming more.

When I'm working on games I don't think necessarily about what the end benefit of the game is going to be. Typically I'm trying to think of: "What can I do that is going to find new ways to entertain and surprise people."

I don't let Mario appear in just any kind of game. Mario could not appear in Zelda games. They are two distinct game worlds.

Programming is all about numbers.
