I used to draw cartoons. I'd just show them to some of my friends, expecting that they were going to appreciate them, that they were going to enjoy reading them.

If it turns out that Mario doesn't really fit into the type of game I want, I wouldn't mind using Zelda as the basis of the new game.

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.

Nowadays I think it's really important that designers are really unique and individual.

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

I always try to create new experiences that are fun to play.

I think that the entertainment industry itself has a history of chasing success. Any time a hit product comes out, all the other companies start chasing after that success and trying to recreate it by putting out similar products.
