When I am starting a new game, I have to program it for the Apple, because I want to get all of the markets.

After two weeks of working on a project, you know whether it will work or not.

I started on an Apple II, which I had bought at the very end of 1978 for half of my annual income. I made $4,500 a year, and I spent half of it on the computer.

To be honest, I look at my Pinball program and feel that it is old stuff. I could do much better.

You will be able to program a robot to follow a track on the ground and manipulate a hand. You can also write little programs that will give the robots goals.

The power of the computer is starting to spread.

On the robot kit, I can choose very boring parts or I can choose exciting and interesting parts. That is a reflection of my personality and the kinds of things I am interested in.

A quiet personality sure isn't what you need to attract attention.

I think a craft becomes an art form when the space of possible solutions becomes so huge that engineering can't carry you through.

I can do whatever I want. They will tell me if what I am doing is stupid or a total waste of time. I may tell them that they are wrong, and we will come to an agreement.

Any artist always has misgivings about calling himself an artist.

True perfection has to be imperfect. I know that sounds foolish, but it's true.

I did not want to leave the Mets and I did not want to leave New York.

I don't live anywhere, so that's what's fun about tours.

Embryonic stem cell research is at the leading edge of a series of moral hazards.

I am confident that many people will find the New Testament alive in a new way after reading The Message.

When I finish a run, every part of me is smiling.

Monetary inflation not only raises prices and destroys the value of the currency unit; it also acts as a giant system of expropriation.

If we stepped away from so much of the victimhood talk, I think that would make a big change for the better. It does limit art. The conversation wouldn't just be one-sided.

Humanity is not perfect in any fashion; no more in the case of evil than in that of good. The criminal has his virtues, just as the honest man has his weaknesses.

I just want to wear my heart on my sleeve.
