I get really scared about how the Internet is shifting and changing everyone's minds, and the way we see ourselves and interact online. Everything is so diluted now.

I've become addicted to playing poker because you're constantly faced with confusion, and winning is trying to make sense out of nonsense.

Not having the online game has made it more difficult. There are a lot of young and upcoming players in poker. But you don't get to see them because TV has sort of been taken away.

You get steely nerves playing poker.

The last thing that scared me... it was probably something stupid, like when someone jumped out at me, or I thought my new dog had gone to the toilet underneath my piano. Lots of silly things.

My biggest problem in live games is that I love the game so much and I don't think I ever met a poker player I didn't fundamentally like - even if they're screaming and they're acting like real jerks.

The Internet has allowed a lot of access - people feel entitled to change the ending of games, for example. So there are a lot more voices coming at you all the time, which I think has its effect on creative decision making and possibly makes people more afraid to take risks.

There's more at risk in what happens in Microsoft than I could ever bet on a poker table.

You're not supposed to get rattled in poker; you're supposed to remain poker-faced!

I found that being online has opened a window for me to look into other people's lives... The greatest fear that I have is losing touch.
