The first important step in weathering failure is learning not to personalize it.
Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
What matters is 'Have you done a better job of making our experiences feel like home on Windows?' That's our real goal, and that's what we're going to stay focused on.
Cell phones tend to bring us more inside of our lives whereas movies offer a chance to escape, so there are two competing forces.
Something that works for one person could be a disadvantage to another.
I miss the personalization that Vegas was - there were showroom captains and all the dealers knew the gamblers by their first names.
Find your own way into your story. Find your own way into your game.
Even if I play a similar role to one I've played before, I will never play it the same, I'll always try to do something different with it.
A bookshelf is as particular to its owner as are his or her clothes; a personality is stamped on a library just as a shoe is shaped by the foot.
I felt like it needed some color down there, so I painted the walls with the motherfucker.
My James Bond wasn't any different to my Saint or my Persuaders or anything else I've done. I've just made everything that I play look like me and sound like me.
I believe now we're in such a niche-land in media that you have to super-serve your niche rather than try to be everything to everyone, because if you do that, instead of making your group care, nobody cares.
