The skills and methods of video games are becoming a part of our life and culture in so many ways that it is impossible to ignore.
A lot of students that come out of this program may not go to work for Electronic Arts. They may go to Wall Street. Because to me, there is no significant difference - except for clothing preference - between people who are making games and people who are manipulating huge database systems to try to figure out where the markets are headed. It's largely the same skill set, the critical thinking. Games are becoming a major part of our lives, and there is actually good news in that.
There are going to be in the short term terrifying, confusing moments (like) attacks on Iraqi police headquarters. The intent (by the opposition) is to produce destabilization, to cause people to say let's get out of here, they don't like us.... I don't think the U.S. is going to cut and run.
We expected it to be a very difficult mission, and we met some people we believed were the outpost and we killed them,
We don't understand why a surveillance opportunity wasn't granted. If the Justice Department isn't at fault, then the process is at fault.
Every person who has gone to war has struggled with the question of, 'did he do it right?' and I have struggled with that question privately since February of 1969,
(We) went on and took fire where we expected this meeting to occur, and we returned very lethal fire. And when the firing was over, all we had was women and children that were dead.
We're $5 billion or $6 billion short of getting people trained to a level that would make me comfortable.
It is likely that the biggest contributor is popular culture. A show like 'Project Runway' brands Parsons all the time, and that has had an impact on the number of people who want to become fashion designers. It's been largely good for the school.
I saw women and children in front of us being hit and cut to pieces... After that night...I had become someone I did not recognize.
I think the Congress should begin to examine what they need to subpoena. They clearly need to get to the bottom of this.
I would not say 'impossible,' ... But, boy, it feels awfully close to it.
The cheapest gift I have to give is kindness, and it is the best.
It's not clear in the U.S. at the moment, either. We're going through another election.
