Real style is not having a program - it's how one behaves in a crisis.

I destroy things every day in the act of working and often recall a picture I had considered finished in order to rework it.

I'm hoping to make a new thing for the world that remains in the mind like a new species of living thing.

If you pass something every day and it has a little character, it begins to intrigue you.

Ideally, one should have more material than one can possibly cope with.

I don't like comedy. I like funny things. I don't like comedy. Like, comedy movies are just, 'Oh Jesus.'

All dramatic realism is somewhat sadistic; an audience is persuaded to watch something that makes it uncomfortable and from which no relief is offered - no laughter, no tears, no purgation.

People need love. It’s the most powerful emotion in the world.

We've never declared war on anybody. We [Iran] defended ourselves against wars that were imposed on us. We have no desire to engage in confrontation with anybody.

Small developers can compete on creativity not on scale or staff size.... Nintendo is willing to help bring these ideas to life.

Other people may not have had high expectations for me... but I had high expectations for myself.
