There are big lines between those who play video games and those who do not. For those who don't, video games are irrelevant. They think all video games must be too difficult.

Yes, I play computer games. I think you've got to embrace the latest technology. For someone to dismiss games as not important would be the same as saying the Internet is not important.

I'm not really a gamer.

There are millions of sci-fi enthusiasts in the world, not just gamers.

Maybe there are people who are gamers who haven't seen movies I have made, or the movies I have made have made no impression on them at all.

I don't want a gamer to feel like they have to commit their whole life to changing the world.

I should say I am not much of a gamer - anymore. The reason for this is that I have to make a living, and my body requires vitamin D, and I've come to value the heady pleasures of human interaction over the temporary exhilaration of reaching the 'next level.'

As others have recently suggested, the term 'gamer' is no longer useful as an identity because games are for everyone. These days, even my mom spends an inordinate amount of time gaming on her iPad. So I'll take a cue from my younger self and say I don't care about being a 'gamer,' but I sure do love video games.

The single biggest misconception about games is that they're an escapist waste of time.

When you say you are a gamer and you are a celebrity or a former celebrity there's a grain of salt that everybody takes that with.
