Players like to know that they've discovered things that even the designers didn't know were in the game.

Because now it's the fans out there that are entertaining us, the developers, with their creations!

We have spent quite a bit of time considering a good space game, and I can't really say anything at this point, but we are definitely still interested in that area.

A lot of the interesting issues and dynamics within a city occur over things such as socio-economic issues or ethnic issues. But they require a much more elaborate model of human behavior.

Well, I think the camera freedom is something that we've resisted for a long time and feels like probably the biggest stretch. But it has some huge benefits.

And every now and then people find the bugs, and they interpret those as cool failures in the Sims terms. For them it's like a treasure hunt, you know.

There are a lot of issues that I hope we deal with at some point that we haven't up to now, for various reasons. Some technical, and some more political.

In an online community, there's this kind of social economy between the community members. Some people have status because they make cool skins or that's a good website that's visited a lot, but there's no real gameplay there.

On vacation, I totally unplug. I don't bring a laptop with me.

The console games, as they come out with this new generation, will have a temporary advantage in price performance, but there are still many things you can do on a PC, more conveniently than you can do on a console machine.

The Sims is kind of an interesting case because we had all these expansion packs. We were able to incrementally add on and explore without invading the core dynamic or the core game play.

The second thing for me, probably a few clicks down, is the idea that The Sims smoothly age and have different concerns and motivations and needs at different age ranges.

Everybody has a different definition of the good side.

Yes... well, I used to have a pilot's license.

The new generation of consoles has as much power to do the kind of games that we do as the PC does.

I'm not saying we purposely introduced bugs or anything, but this is kind of a natural result of any complexities of software... that you can't fully test it.

I typically go overboard when I research new projects.

I find it refreshing to unplug from it for a while. You kind of forget how deeply you get embedded in it.

Also, after people play these Sim games, it tends to change their perception of the world around them, so they see their city, house or family in a slightly different way after playing.

It used to be that you knew your neighbors and maybe your coworkers - the people in your physical vicinity.

And so from that, I've always been fascinated with the idea that complexity can come out of such simplicity.

Players like to know that they've discovered things that even the designers didn't know were in the game.

For me, what's a more important question is how we get at least the option of more diverse experiences in this media.

It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and then tell them what to do. We hire smart people and they tell us what to do.

Sleeping with your child, wearing your child in a sling as opposed to pushing them around in expensive strollers, those are things that matter biologically and sociologically for the structure of a family.

Win or lose today I am proud of the way my boys have played in the tournament.

My family's a ruling family.

Like most Russians, I am very superstitious, and if I don't get married, I don't get divorced.

Cold indeed and labor lost Then farewell heat and welcome frost

People want to work with somebody who feels shame who worries about the perceptions of others. Dishonesty is something we dont like in others.

Space offers extraordinary potential for commerce and adventure, for new innovations and new tests of will. As Americans, we can't help but reach for the stars. It's our nature. It's our destiny.

Love does whatever it does, whenever it wants to do it.

My men have sometimes failed to take a position, but to defend one, never!

There's no way I could ring up a company that was lending me a red-carpet dress and say, 'Do you have it in a 10?' Because all the press samples are an 8 - I would say a 'small 8.'

Guns can turn you into an insider even if you're an outsider by nature, recruiting you into a loose fraternity of people who feel embattled and defensive and are primally eager to win allies.

Find ways to decentralize. Move decision making authority down and out. Encourage a more entrepreneurial approach.

Do you realize if it weren't for Edison we'd be watching TV by candlelight?

My four sons all knew I was a Jew, but they were allowed to be whatever they wanted to be. The only thing important to me was that they be good people who help other people, because all religion should try to make you a better person and a more caring person. Whenever religion does that for you, it's a good religion.

I know people who have been without a home for ages, and lots of my friends are sofa surfing because they are in between jobs or saving for degrees and other studies - paying £500 rent every month is just not feasible for them.

Acting is a smaller piece in a big puzzle. There are charity things I want to immerse myself in and want to have the time to go and give back to people who don't have the opportunities I have. It's a very important thing to me.

I don't just post a video and then get offline. After uploading, I love to respond to comments, tweets, and messages about the video.

But we can hold our spirits and our bodies so pure and high, we may cherish such thoughts and such ideals, and dream such dreams of lofty purpose, that we can determine and know what manner of men we will be, whenever and wherever the hour strikes and calls to noble action.

The things you struggle with today are the things you choose to struggle with. Because you believe that what you want to accomplish, is worth struggling for.

There's no doubt that the Christian right has gone to bed with the more conservative elements of the Republican Party. And there's been a melding in their goals when it comes to the separation of church and state. I've always believed in the separation of church and state.

Ever since childhood, when I found out that the ultimate fate for all humans was death, sheer terror and morbid curiosity had been fighting for supremacy in my mind.

I only want to make music because I have a passion for it.

Dont follow in any footprints make your own prints. Because you are the future of tomorrow.
