Entertainment, in the end, is a food industry for feeling.

Nothing truly bad happens. There's always good and bad in any changes.

With 'Journey,' we created an emotional arc for two different scenarios. So, if you play alone, it's a good game. You have what we think is a complete emotional arc. You will feel, I guess, a sense of transformation in the single-player. Because it's a hero's journey.

For adults to enjoy something, they need to have intellectual stimulation, something that's related to real life.

It's stressful when you run a company.

I just feel like I'm on a quest to fail if I try to even compete with myself.

I always thought if I was born 2000 years earlier, I would be a monk, probably carving a monastery or some giant pantheon buildings.

I studied Computer Science when I was in my undergrad and minored in Digital Art and Design.

Even in film, books, and music, there's always action -- there's always rock and roll. Young people appreciate that kind of experience.

When humans are hungry, they look for food. But they are also hungry for certain feelings. They go out to look for entertainment -- from music to movies to novels to games -- to satisfy their emotions.

If we can make great games for PS3 players... how many PS3 players are out there? If we can make great games for everybody, that's a much bigger service. There's no reason I shouldn't do that.

I feel, as a game maker, we are responsible to make content that stretch the ruling structure and emotions so that everyone can enjoy.

When I designed 'Flower' I was thinking about making it a positive, almost like a self-healing experience. It's like therapy.

Designing a game can be like a Japanese garden. It's not what you put in but how much you take away.

There are many sides of the urban life that I dislike, but there are many sides I am deeply in love with and attached to.

In the free-to-play industry, the most money-making games are often coming from making people fighting against each other and really hating each other and wanting to revenge, so they spend more money to dominate.

We founded thatgamecompany to push the boundary of video games as an interactive medium.

If a game is meant to be played by everybody, it deserves to be on multiple platforms so everybody can play it.

The focus of 'Flower' is emotion and to make you feel peaceful.

I was very impressed with the scope and scale and impact that came from originally one person making 'Minecraft.' It's inspiring for me to think how our team can do more with less.
