• "Now, one button combat has been done before. And its been really rubbish !"
• "Im trying to make Fable 2 the greatest roleplaying game of all time..again.. But this time, I´ve learned from my mistakes."
• "Options for romance kissing to some X rated bits (this will be censored) can also be manipulated. Will the first female nudity give you a success or will it turn off the audience?"
• "Most conversations about mobile game development happen in a bar. It wasn't because mobile developers are alcoholics, but because bars are the ideal place to lament the low motivation you may have by working in such a frustrating industry."
• "I think it's a huge tragedy. I mean, you might as well say PC gaming is World of Warcraft and The Sims... The weird thing is everyone's got a PC, they're just not buying software for it."
• "There is an acorn, and it is a golden acorn. We're taking acorns to the next level."
• "It's you Americans. There's something about nipples you hate. If this were Germany, we'd be romping around naked on the stage here."
• "Mini-maps are shit. They're shit because you make these multimillion-dollar games, and people play them staring at these little dots."
• “It's amazing for a role playing game, because most role playing games are shit! Oblivion was a great game, but the combat was rubbish; we all talked about it being rubbish. So imagine you had a great role-playing game and really, really good combat system.”

• "Like it or not, combat is at least half of a role-playing experience, probably more like 70%. So if I want to get into that landmark status, I've got to innovate combat. And the problem is an enormous number of games you see are totally unplayable for the vast majority of the population. Give Halo 3 or Call of Duty to a casual gamer and they will just run away screaming, they wouldn't have the first chance. But, hardcore gamers are getting so demanding now, they're requiring ultimate balance, enormous depth, and love experimenting throughout the whole of the game. Those are polar opposites, on one side accessibility, and on the other, depth. How can I create a combat system that combines both together?"

  "Her buttocks are wrong"

  "The engine isn't finished. Her buttocks are wrong."
• "Just press the blue bloody button and get on with it!"
• "Having a little child run out and you say, 'oh, that's just lovely, isn't it' – that's part of the drama."
• "This time I'm going to make it really tough to be good. Truly being good is all about sacrifice. How much are you going to sacrifice to do good?"
• "Even more... I was going to say 'fucking'. Can I say 'fucking'? Oh what the hell, I'll say 'fucking'. Even more fucking cool is combining that with magic."
• I keep finding myself rejected by men, which is a new experience for me."
• "Pull the right trigger to see The Most Interesting Thing in the World."
• "Big wobbly water bags."
