As the story unfolded, the cast of characters changed to match it.

Games are not about being told things. If you want to tell people things, write a book or make a movie. Games are dialogues - and dialogue requires both parties to take the floor once in a while

Good stories are constructed, not found.

Half-Life is the finest implementation of a game on rails anybody has ever done

Creating a really believable world is just insanely hard

I'm sad but excited for the future.

For me, the cool thing is doing things that could only be done in gaming.

Whether it's as the hero of an adventure story, as teacher and friend, as icon on watch, shirt or hat - everyone knows Mickey Mouse.

Finney is about the best writer of time travel stories ever, and I adore time travel stories - have to make a time travel game someday!

In cartoons, in movies, time passes differently. There are flashbacks and flashfowards.

Love will let you want and trust in Miracles.

Nicole will come up in conversations where it's in a part of the conversation. Or we may be somewhere and I would tell some story about their mother and I. You know, we always honor her birthday.

A Prius is not a true hybrid, really. The current Prius is, like, 2 percent electric. It's a gasoline car with slightly better mileage.

I try not to spend too much time on partisan politics. Life's too short for that. I don't really believe that there have been many human problems solved by politics.

I have a dark sense of humor, so I definitely like to work on stuff like that. I do enjoy working in comedies where I can create a fun and broad character.

People should not be imprisoned without having the ability to challenge the legality of that imprisonment.

Live the beauty or your own reality.
