“The dog looked around him. “You!” he called. “What do you want? What do you know about it? What are you talking about? All o’ you belong to ‘Im, just like I belong to ‘Im! But me ... well I love ‘Im, I pray to ‘Im! I serve ‘Im! But you, you don’t know that ‘E’s in charge ‘ere. You’re pitiful you are, you can’t rebel against ‘Im? ‘E’s the almighty! ‘E’s above all of us! Ev’rything you’ve got comes from ‘Im! E’vrything that grows and lives, it all comes from ‘Im.” The dog was shaking in his outrage.”

“This is the sad part,” he says. “The majority of the industry still thinks it’s a tech industry and they don’t realize they’re a commercial creative industry and that their competition is feature animation. So they need to think like feature animation companies and they still don’t. Obviously I’m prejudiced about this, but the top people in these [game] companies need to be somebody like John Lasseter at Pixar and Disney. The top decisions need to be made on a creative level because that’s what you are. You’re a creative industry.”

Here am I and here are you; think of it! When you ponder the breadth of the galaxy, you must recognize a coincidence of great singularity!” “I don’t understand.” “Simple enough!
