Hire for passion and intensity; there is training for everything else.

We had some really powerful technology - Atari always was a technology-driven company, and we were very keen on keeping the technological edge on everything. There's a whole bunch of things that we innovated. We made the first computer that did stamps or sprites, we did screen-mapping for the very first time, and a lot of stuff like that.

I didn’t want anybody seeing my fire until I burned them with it.

Sometimes you have to find the passion. It comes from the inside. ... Everyone has to find it for themselves.

I've been in navigation systems, robotics, restaurants, communications systems, touch screens, and now I'm back in games. I like to say I have five-year A.D.D.

I guess I'd like to be known for being an innovator, fostering creativity, thinking outside the box. You know, keeping people playful.
