I know when something is kind of half-baked.

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.

I write my programs primarily for myself.

You must know in your heart before anyone else does what is going to be good and then follow through.

Robots... I think that is a hot topic.

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.

Everything is getting bigger. The way to go now is to program in a little more sophistication.

Even though Raster Blaster was only a video game, I was learning about designing stuff. I got good at drawing.

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.

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

The power of the computer is starting to spread.

I'm a great coder. But I am not pushing that so much anymore because there are thousands of great coders.

All of the good stuff is going to be done in the future. The stuff we are doing now is crummy compared with what will finally mature.

I have a really powerful urge to see things work.

I really think it is amazing that people actually buy software.

Video games are engineered now, but the step I am trying to take, no one can engineer.

Any artist always has misgivings about calling himself an artist.

I know when something is kind of half-baked.

It always helps to be a good programmer. It is important to like computers and to be able to think of things people would want to do with their computers.

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.

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

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

The Apple has the fewest bells and whistles. It has simple sound and few graphics special effects. In a way, that is a weakness because markets for the other machines are getting bigger.

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

The program should know if someone is at the keyboard or joystick or if it is just sitting there idle. It should know if someone is proficient in its use or a novice.

I think one of the major results of the psychology of decision making is that peoples attitudes and feelings about losses and gains are really not symmetric. So we really feel more pain when we lose 10000 than we feel pleasure when we get 10000.

We today take this first step by acknowledging the past and laying claim to a future that embraces all Australians.

I have learned that nothing is certain except for the need to have strong risk management, a lot of cash, the willingness to invest even when the future is unclear, and great people.

Our relations with brothers in Gulf Cooperation council are good and developing, either bilateral relations or with the G.C.C itself, also we have good brotherly and solid ties with Saudi Arabia.

Some friends of mine bothered me for a long time about getting on the social networking pages. They were close friends that I liked to mess with, and I think that I kind of enjoyed for a while that it bothered them so much. Now they've just kind of given up.

Just studying Buddhism, then meditating and going to Buddhist monasteries, talking to Buddhist monks, combined with the Thai people themselves, changed the way I look at the world.

Music is for people. The word 'pop' is simply short for popular. It means that people like it. I'm just a normal jerk who happens to make music. As long as my brain and fingers work, I'm cool.

I became a member of the faculty at Northwestern University in 1965 but did not complete my thesis until two years later at a graduate ceremony at which Carnegie Institute of Technology became Carnegie-Mellon University. At Northwestern, I was mentored by the 'three Bobs:' Robert Eisner, Robert Strotz and Robert Clower.

The nice thing about building up your own studio is if Hollywood decides to hate faith-based films, it doesn't matter to us. We have an audience and continue to serve that audience.

As human beings, we are the genetic elite, the sentient, contemplating and innovating sum of countless genetic accidents and transcription errors.

There is no shortcut to perfection. All it takes is hard work, and more hard work.

I'm a real soft, sentimental guy who dreams up decapitations.

My senior year of high school, when I was getting recruited for college, my dad goes to me, 'You can become an Olympic champion.' And that's the first time that I'd heard someone else say that to me. I was like, 'Uh, are you talking to me?'

I've done TV and I've done film, and I'm not snobby about it. It's about the project.

Prison opened my eyes to so many things. It was a great time. I met interesting people. I got to understand the behaviour of the police and the media. I am an observer of the human race.

I like death. I'm a big fan of it.

I was born during the Depression in a little community just outside Waco, and I grew up listening to Franklin Roosevelt on the radio.

There are many Sheriff Arpaios. People who have taken to local city, county, and state governments across the county the idea that immigrants are the problem. That immigrants are to blame.

Wednesdays are like Mondays in the middle of the week!

Don't order one for the road, because the road is already laid out.

By using affirmations and by surrounding ourselves with people who are positive and will support us in holding thoughts about what we want to experience (and not what we don't) we'll naturally start to shift our experience.

I rarely went to the mosque, I never fasted, and I only prayed namaaz on the holy nights because my mom bugged me about it.

I'm physically completely mal-coordinated. My best friend used to make me run for the bus just to give herself a quick, cheap laugh because I definitely don't have that sophisticated cool thing down.
