I always pretend like I'm nervous no matter what. I try to fall asleep.

The beautiful thing about poker is that everybody thinks they can play.

When I was broke, no one ever offered to buy me a beer. Now that I have quite a bit of money, everybody tries to buy me beers. Where were all these people back when I was in college and broke?

Poker is meant to be enjoyed.

I don't like the way I ever appear on TV.

World Class players can lay down the toughest hands and play any two cards at any time without fear. Their reads are impeccable.

Other than that and the fact that I don't have to work any more my life hasn't changed a bit.

But I want people to understand that poker's not all glamorous, it's not all being on TV and making tons of money. It's a hard life. It's a lot of travel. It's a lot of weird hours.

I'm the sort of loser who succeeds really well and then drops a turd in the punch bowl.

The games industry is the only industry with the tools and the talent to create real-time immersive 3D environments.

Chronological time does not exist; what indeed exists is esoteric time, because life is an eternal instant.

Om is the greatest, meaning the Absolute.

I don't crave fame. I mean, it's nice to be recognized. It is useful.
