“Any time I say anything about Dream Theater... Honestly, I'd rather not talk about it. Because no matter what I say, it will be twisted and... So I kind of have made myself promise that I won't talk about Dream Theater anymore.”

“I kind of always made it a tradition, whenever Dream Theater played Toronto, to play a Rush cover.”

“I have so much gratitude that I get to do this for a living and that I actually have fans who come to the shows and buy the records and support me online.”

“When I had my first child, I didn't write for a year, and I felt when I tried to start again I might actually not be able to do it anymore. I really could not do it well, and I felt out of sorts with it.”

“When you're 40, you can't ride the fence anymore. You gotta make definite decisions about your life.”

“We do not focus test our games and never had. People ask why we don't, and I say, 'I have so many opinions in this studio, I don't need anymore!' We really debate everything - and it's a good debate. That's why the games turn out well: it's not me - it's not this guy - it's the collective. Together, we figure out what we want.”
