Fitness needs to be perceived as fun and games or we subconsciously avoid it.

When you are 16 there is no fear whatsoever. As you get older you play in more important games and that is when you start thinking about what will happen if you win or lose.

When you reach a certain status in Hollywood you have to play a lot of games to stay in the limelight. It becomes more about being famous than being an actor.

I don't believe in the so-called Olympic spirit. I speak from personal experience. When China hosted the Games it failed to include the people. The event was constructed without regard for their joy.

Games have grown and developed from this limited in-the-box experience to something that's everywhere now. Interactive content is all around us networked ready. This is something I've been hoping for throughout my career.

The London Games will be designed for the athletes and we will provide them with the very best venues and the very best conditions to pursue their sporting dreams in London.

I decided to go to school for advertising and graphic design. That was what I was gonna do but acting is that thing it's like a splinter in your mind and you can't get rid of it. So I decided to move to L.A. a few years ago and it just snowballed into this thing called 'The Hunger Games.'

So I'm always around video games but I've always been interested in them from a visual perspective with the graphic design and that whole thing. I don't know if that comes from my love of photography or what but that's always what's held my interest about them.

I grew up with baseball I played in Little League and went to games with my dad. But I as I grew up became more of a basketball fanatic than a baseball one.

I was into the Mets because my Dad worked at IBM where he got free Mets tickets so I was into the Mets... then I got to 'Saturday Night Live' where my boss has unbelievable N.Y. Yankees tickets so he invites us to the games. I'm going to all the games so I might as well root for the team I'm gonna go sit with.

I grew up in Chicago so I've always been a Bears fan. Dad used to take me to Bears games and Cubs games. My brother used to ride me over to Lake Forest College on his Honda Supersport and we'd watch the Bears practice. I remember those guys out there as monsters - they were the biggest things I've ever seen!

Everyone in Hollywood wanted a role in this movie. Everyone wanted to have a part in it. I feel so lucky that I got one but what I find so cool about 'Hunger Games' is that the real star is the story itself.

When I was in Japan on tour in 2010 I felt like I was 30 years into the future. I love technology and they are so advanced with their phones computers everything. I think they had the iPhone way before we did in the U.S. I love gadgets games social media and I try to stay ahead on all that stuff but they get it all first.

We all grew up our grandmothers and mothers had about three channels to watch so we watched those soaps and now a generation has grown up with the Internet and computers and video games.

Video games and computers have become babysitters for kids.

I've never been much of a computer guy at least in terms of playing with computers. Actually until I was about 11 I didn't use a computer for preparing for games at all. I was playing a bit online was using the chess club mainly. Now obviously the computer is an important tool for me preparing for my games.

The only legitimate use of a computer is to play games.

What I was proud of was that I used very few parts to build a computer that could actually speak words on a screen and type words on a keyboard and run a programming language that could play games. And I did all this myself.

Kids are great. That's one of the best things about our business all the kids you get to meet. It's a shame they have to grow up to be regular people and come to the games and call you names.

No matter what business you're in you can't run in place or someone will pass you by. It doesn't matter how many games you've won.

I play PC and Xbox games at home and I just got a PSP as a birthday present.

I want to serve chess through games books that are works of art. I would like to bring the game closer to many people all over the world.

While a large segment of the art world has obsessed over a tiny number of stars and their prices an aesthetic shift has been occurring. It's not a movement - movements are more sure of themselves. It's a change of mood or expectation a desire for art to be more than showy effects big numbers and gamesmanship.

The London games mark the 24th anniversary of my winning two golds and setting the world record in the heptathlon. Someone is going to want it records are made to be broken - it's only a matter of time. I hope mine will outlive me.
