Jordan Vogt-Roberts quotes

Let's not be afraid of the use of color. Let's not be afraid of crazy art style. Let's not be afraid of the fantastical stuff, and I promise you we can make something that feels like an awesome shooter that you can market to the world, but that is awesome because it commits to what it is.

I get to play around, and that's amazing. There's a quote from Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes that I always found really interesting. He said, "Anyone who is nostalgic about their childhood never had one." And I always found it fascinating.

I once jokingly told someone that every book is like a relationship. They're four or five years long - that's not so bad. They're serious. They demand a lot of attention. But I remember thinking that I wanted to have one with someone who's not so crazy and peculiar and demanding.

It's fun to be creative and innovative and come up with something crazy. So I need people to work with who are not going to be afraid to take it to the left a bit.
