Growing up, I was restricted at home from playing video games until I reached university.

Growing up, as a kid, I loved to read. I liked to read books that were above my range. I always tried to aim higher and read difficult books.

Overcoming challenges by learning something in a game is a very rewarding feeling, and that's what I wanted to prioritise in 'Dark Souls' and 'Demon's Souls.'

Dont give up. Obstacles can be overcome through strategy and learning.

The thing about death is that it's honest.

When I was 12, my mother passed away from heart failure, leaving us in grief and in debt from her medical bills.

I think I'm a survivor. I could have suffered at least 100 professional deaths. I could come up with a list of the 100 times I've come closest to death, from having pneumonia as a child to car crashes.

You need the living, loving heart of living, loving men and women to quicken other hearts, which can live too and love too, and, in their turn, will quicken others which are dying now.
