It feels like there's something for everyone in video games. It's not just a toy for a certain age group. It's steeped in the culture now.

We've been playing games since humanity had civilization - there is something primal about our desire and our ability to play games. It's so deep-seated that it can bypass latter-day cultural norms and biases.

In the past, a lot of films based on video games think that the audience wants to experience what it's like to play the game, and that's absolutely not the case.

Every age has its storytelling form, and video gaming is a huge part of our culture. You can ignore or embrace video games and imbue them with the best artistic quality. People are enthralled with video games in the same way as other people love the cinema or theatre.

Everybody is playing games. There are games now for pretty much every age, every demographic.

I think everyone can enjoy games.

Gaming has been a great way to get to know people. That's part of what I love about games, that they are social.

Up until now, the biggest question in society about video games has been what to do about violent games. But it's almost like society in general considers video games to be something of a nuisance, that they want to toss into the garbage can.

All video games are games, obviously. They're designed. They're digital. They have rules; they give an audience some type of vicarious experience.

Games have a huge impact on our society because the media plays a role in helping to shape our attitudes. So it's not just fantasy.
