“If I had intended for 'Minecraft' to end up on consoles, I wouldn't ha...” — Markus Persson Quote

“If I had intended for 'Minecraft' to end up on consoles, I wouldn't have developed the game in Java. The decision to port the game to consoles came from a combination of player requests, a desire to play around with the brand on different platforms, and some interesting business deals.”

“I used to be really stressed about that: like, how do I follow up on 'Minecraft,' because I have this weird expectation to. But after a while, what I realized I enjoy doing is prototyping and playing with ideas.”

“I kind of 'code-sketch,' where I get started with a project by actually writing the code for it and getting something up on the screen. Then I play around with it and see if it's any fun and change the parts that aren't.”

“Any email that contains the words 'important' or 'urgent' never are, and annoy me to the point of not replying out of principle.”

“I think the only way I could make something fun and big is if I don't expect it to be.”

“We don't need another makeup brand. That is a place where women are dominating, which is amazing.”

“Brightstar's global infrastructure, deep wireless experience, and strong channel relationships makes it an optimal partner as we expand the global reach of Harman Lifestyle products and the Harman Kardon brand.”

“Leverage your brand. You shouldn't let two guys in a garage eat your shorts.”

“I hear luxury brand names, I cringe.”

“Many people struggle to make hummus that lives up to their expectations at home, and recreating a favourite brand or the stuff from your local deli is almost impossible.”

“I stood my ground and I said I'm not going to take every social opportunity. I'm not going to take every brand deal. I'm not going to take every suggestion, because at the end of the day, it's me doing the manual labor that everyone else thinks I should just be doing.”
