I don't want to make movies for kids, and I don't want to make movies for adults either.

Looking back, video game design seems a natural fit, although there was no such thing when I was growing up. I built a Tic-Tac-Toe playing machine in my teens which went up in smoke on the night it was scheduled to go to a science fair.

I'd like to play characters who are older - I don't want to be playing 14-year-olds too much longer.

Games shouldn't only be fun. They should teach or spark an interest in other things.

Any romantic feelings for a 12-year-old are like entering into a fantasy world.

I could maybe coach kids' basketball. I know enough about basketball where I feel like I could coach 12-year-olds pretty effectively.

I have been playing games since I was about 6, and they've always been a big hobby of mine.

I tend to be a subscriber to the idea that you have everything you need by the time you're 12 years old to do interesting writing for most of the rest of your life - certainly by the time you're 18.

I was 12 when I got a small part in a movie in Texas. And in my spare time, I play with my dogs and write music and go out with my friends.

Being young is an advantage. You've grown up with games as the dominant entertainment. You have a lot of experience of video games. So what do you want to see that's not been done? Innovation is really low cost for you. You can afford to take risks and fail to execute new ideas.
