Yes, I play computer games. I think you've got to embrace the latest technology. For someone to dismiss games as not important would be the same as saying the Internet is not important.

I think you need to understand games to write them. There's a learning curve, just like there's a learning curve in anything. It's not precisely the same as film or television, but you're using the same muscles.

Whenever you do anything with Bond, you've got Cubby Broccoli and Sean Connery looking over your shoulder.

The great thing about games is that it's tremendously collaborative, and it opens you up to this other world of thinking and storytelling and how you construct those stories.

I would say I'm a casual gamer. I'm not hardcore.

I think you can see that in the show. Music was my touchstone. Music is still much more important to me.
