I've retroactively made all that wasted time rotting my brain into research. It makes me a hypocrite when I try to tell my own daughter, "I don't know, I think we've played a little too much Mario."

Going outside is highly overrated.

No one in the world gets what they want and that is beautiful.

I felt like a kid standing in the world's greatest video arcade without any quarters, unable to do anything but walk around and watch the other kids play.

Video games paid for my house. What am I saying? Go ahead and keep playing!

Being human totally sucks most of the time. Videogames are the only thing that make life bearable.

I've never really collected anything other than old Atari cartridges. I only had, like, 12 Atari games as a kid, so at some point in my 20s I decided I was going to own all of them.

You were born at a pretty crappy time in history. And it looks like things are only gonna get worse from here on out.

I've heard Stephen King say that when you write a novel you end up revealing everything about yourself.

I have a thing for evil bald bad guys. The Kurgan is too sexy.

I think it's a bit silly to brand the Internet as the 'downfall of youth.'

The whole house seemed to exhale a melancholy breath of emptiness

It's safe to tell us stuff, okay?" This means it's not safe to tell them anything.

God made man, but man made the society we live in.

The first draught serveth for health, the second for pleasure, the third for shame, and the fourth for madness.

It is not just the more talented player who wins. Some players may try a little harder.

I have the normal complement of anxieties, neuroses, psychoses and whatever else - but I'm absolutely nothing special.

I'm the kind of person whose clothes are all hung up and color-coordinated, to the point where my whites don't touch my creams.

Anyone who, for 25 years, has built a career on such tenuous foundations as a high-pitched giggle, a raspberry and a sprinkling of top 'Cs' needs all the friends he can get.

Keep your soul at peace, in order to be able to be attentive and very faithful to the inner movement of the Holy Spirit.

The deepest and rarest kind of courage has nothing to do with feats or obstacles in the outside world; and, indeed, has nothing to do with the outside world - it is the courage to be who you are.
