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 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.

Personality is lower than partiality.

The reason it has relevance is because I, as a popular Arab personality - the Arab people like me and respect me - thought it was time for me to make an ever so tiny statement about what I thought about this whole thing.

The achievements which society rewards are won at the cost of diminution of personality.

If you have anything really valuable to contribute to the world it will come through the expression of your own personality, that single spark of divinity that sets you off and makes you different from every other living creature.

Personality is only ripe when a man has made the truth his own.

And I, uh, I wonder how anybody can think his personality changes with his success. I've had quite a bit of success but I feel that I'm just the same person as I always was.

My girlfriend bought me a down jacket, she said it fit my personality.

Where does personality end and brain damage begin?

Only he, who penetrates into the depth of the game, can express his personality in it.

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successfull personality and duplicate it.

I was a personality before I became a person - I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy and driven.

Personality has power to uplift, power to depress, power to curse, and power to bless.

I think George W. Bush has a warm, engaging personality. But, you know, the presidency is more than just a popularity contest.

Jean's whole job is to protect Victoria. Jean is a very practical, very orderly, very disciplined person; she is the personality called the gatekeeper.

A multiple personality is in a certain sense normal.

You know, you've got serious pieces, you've got light pieces, you've got cooking segments, you've got health-related topics, so it's not as if they've had a unique personality from the get-go.

I mean, I would hope that I have a style or personality that is evident wherever I go.

It seems obvious to me that the notion of God has never been anything but a kind of ideal projection, a reflection upward of the human personality, and that theology never has been and never can be anything but a more and more purified mythology.

Ethics is the activity of man directed to secure the inner perfection of his own personality.

There's so much fear involved in trying to do something you don't know how to do that drugs and alcohol can become a big part of your life if you have an addictive personality or are very unsure, which most songwriters are.

I had had an extroverted personality with a lot of friends, but when I lost the weight and grew so tall, I withdrew within myself.

If any human being is to reach full maturity both the masculine and feminine sides of the personality must be brought up into consciousness.

I never thought I'd say this, what Obama needs in his personality is a little George Bush.
