“I am so honoured to be a part of the games industry, but I understand that people are sick of hearing my voice and hearing my promises. So I'm going to stop doing press and I'm going to stop talking about games completely.”

“That's what 'The Trail' ended up being, this delightful way of exploring and managing your backpack and crafting and collecting and trading with other players, doing all that in this really delicious way. When we finished that and released it on iOS and Android, tens of millions of people loved and enjoyed it.”

“In 'Fable III' we have taken away the experience system.”

“Derren Brown doesn't really predict the lottery numbers. But there is an enormous amount of entertainment in there.”

“Some of the most beautiful scenes I've ever seen in a game has been in 'Minecraft.'”

“The major change was going from 'Black and White' to 'Fable,' because I was no longer programming, and I had spent most of my time designing through programming, and only working with people I knew well.”

“When people reach age 12-14, they become obsessed with evil. The percentage of people who are good versus evil becomes reversed. It's part of the way that teens' minds are being reordered - it's just a developmental stage.”

“The important thing is authoring a game for an audience that will enjoy the experience. That's a tough thing to do.”

“You don't meet computer game characters when you use a controller. You control computer game characters.”

“I felt that the moral side of 'Black and White' was slightly confused. That's why I want the world to be in turmoil.”

“I think that games like 'Braid' show us that the 'new kids on the block' can do some really inventive, smart things with a genre like the side-scrolling platformer that has been around for 25 years. It's proof that people can 'come up' and surprise us all the time.”

“The whole point here, and the seed that JJ Abrams laid in my mind is, is the power of curiosity enough? What happens next? That dramatic construct is what has driven soap operas and serialised novels over the course of history.”

“With 'Black and White' we laid down the canvas for what's possible in 'Black and White' 2 and 3. We gave you a creature that you could nurture and build up and we focused an awful lot on that creature with the add-on disc.”

“I think people were worried I was going to walk away from 'Godus' and call it a day.”

“As game designers, we often assume people are playing from start to finish, and they're never going to walk away from it. But people are doing that.”

“'The Trail' on PC is far more challenging by nature. The flow of the game is completely changed, because I think that's what the audience enjoys.”

“People get so frustrated with me, so much so that they've threatened me, they've threatened my family and it just cannot go on, it really can't.”

“I play role-playing games, and I love the concept of leveling up.”

“If I really really like you, and I really tell you I think you're fantastic, you're much more likely to like me. I think that's human emotion.”

“There was a whole sequence of concept art about a 'Fable' set in a kind of steampunk Victoriana age.”
