Game

"When I was about 10, I remember I campaigned for months to convince my parents that the Game Boy was not in fact just for boys. Eventually I won the debate and got my first portable gaming device the following Christmas. So even though I’ve always been enthusiastic about games, I’ve also always been bothered and disappointed with the way women were represented much of the time."

"If you are the dealer, Im out of the game"

"Strange game. The only winning move is not to play."

"Games lubricate the body and the mind."

"All my games were political games; I was, like Joan of Arc, perpetually being burned at the stake."
