The stereoscopic panoramic videos that we're showing on Samsung VR are getting a lot of positive traction. It's exciting when you see creative types - whether from the music, film, or video industries - look at this stuff. The gears are turning in their head almost immediately about how they can use it as a new medium. - John Carmack
To this day, I run into people all the time that say, whether it was 'Doom', or maybe even more so 'Quake' later on, that that openness and that ability to get into the guts of things was what got them into the industry or into technology. - John Carmack
We were doing mobile games before the iPhone. We were doing free-to-play with 'Quake Live.' We wanted to do massively multiplayer stuff in the early days but didn't have the resources to do it. - John Carmack
With ZeniMax, they have a lot to be proud of. 'Fallout 3' is one of the favorite games of so many of our people. But they had zero overlap with the things we do. We do the best shooters in the world. It's a perfect hand and glove fit. We started talking about this before they rolled out 'Fallout 3'. We watch them roll it out worldwide. - John Carmack
People think being remembered most for one character is a negative thing, but I don't. I never expected to be remembered for anything! - Mark Hamill
I've had the opportunity to work with so many great directors. Different styles, as well, like Gus Van Sant. He just does the casting and the milieu and let's you do your thing, quietly. Bertolucci, who can talk to you about your internal world in quite a creative way or just say, 'Well, put your hand over here.' - Keanu Reeves
There are some tremendous actors in the U.K. who have been knighted, and I've spent much of my life admiring many of them, like Laurence Olivier. So it's very flattering to be in their company. But you also end up in the company of people you don't admire, including some rather dodgy politicians. - Ian McKellen
I feel so blessed to just have done what I had done. To be able to just use what God has given me is a blessing. You know, never mind the Grammys, never mind the records, never mind all of that. Just to be able to sing. - Whitney Houston
At the end of the day, it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished. It’s about what you’ve done with those accomplishments. It’s about who you’ve lifted up, who you’ve made better. It’s about what you’ve given back. - Denzel Washington
Faith will get you to a point. Luck will get you to a point. But to achieve the kind of success you dream about, you need to WORK. There are no shortcuts, you can’t cheat life, just get to work and don’t stop until you reach your highest potential. - Denzel Washington
Before you can achieve the kind of life you want you must think, act, talk, and conduct yourself in all of your affairs as would the person you wish to become. - Earl Nightingale
The knighthood I received was a fantastic honor but it’s not something I’ve ever used and I don’t think I ever will. - Sean Connery
You know, the Oscar I was awarded for The Untouchables is a wonderful thing, but I can honestly say that I’d rather have won the U.S. Open Golf Tournament. - Sean Connery
All I care about is that people remember me as a good skater, as someone who was innovative. - Tony Hawk
He's never been afraid to try things higher and higher, even when he was young and dwarfed by the size of the ramps. - Tony Hawk
I jumped between two seven-story buildings in Los Angeles, launching from one rooftop to the other with ramps. - Tony Hawk
Some of the spins he has learned on his skateboard had never been done before, because we, as skaters, didn't have a frame of reference to try them for the first time. For instance, nobody had attempted a 1080 in skating until Shaun tried it last year. He wasn't scared because he's done it plenty of times in the snow. - Tony Hawk
The irony about selling out is that they only call you a sell-out when your stuff finally sells - I've had products bearing my name since I was 14, but nobody was buying them then. - Tony Hawk
When I landed the first 900 at the XGames, it was just - it was a personal achievement. It was something that I have strived for for years and years and years, and in a lot of ways had given up on it. But I just didn't think of the resonance that would have. - Tony Hawk
We created a brand for ourselves, so that now people can't get mad at what we do, because then they're just making of themselves.
We have it, we're lucky enough that we've created a show where it's not about... a family, or a kid, it's about a town.
I think that's become passé, but if you can surround yourself with a kind of monument to yourself and your family - a statement - and you can afford it, then that's a noble project. - Sylvester Stallone
