Unfortunately, the rights to 'System Shock' trademark and copyright are both up in the air.

My wife, Caroline Spector, and I pitched some comic ideas to various publishers back in the '80s, but nothing ever came of it.

I'm a big believer in pushing things too far and forcing people to pull you back.

I have no interest in guys who wear armor and swing big swords.

People perceive games as being for kids, and I think that perception is going to change. Time is going to take care of that. I mean, we've already won. Games have won; it's inevitable.

I like Disney stuff. No-one looks at 'Toy Story' and says,' Oh, that's just for kids.' Why is it that games can only appeal to a certain audience, but movies and books - I mean, how many adults read 'Harry Potter?'

Let me tell you, writing comics is as hard as anything I've ever done - for me, at least. I'm now officially in awe of guys who can crank out multiple books a month and maintain a high level of quality. Comics are completely different than any other medium I've dabbled in.

I have never been assigned a game, I have never made a game I didn't want to make. I've never done anything just to make somebody some money.

I think plenty of games - from 'Thief' to 'Zelda' - have shown that sneaking around can be fun.

For me, the cool thing is doing things that could only be done in gaming.

Honestly, there have been some pretty good Marvel games, but I don't think there's ever been a great one.

I said to myself as Junction Point embarked on the Epic Mickey journey that, worst case, we'd be 'a footnote in Disney history.' Looking back on it, I think we did far better than that.
