Words to hack by:

I made games. I didn’t ask for anyone’s permission. If you have the love and the drive, you can walk through that door on your own.

I will say some of my best and most popular/successful work was inspired when someone pissed me right the fuck off. I think I’d be a crappier designer if I were male ... because I would have been exposed to fewer stupid assumptions about who I was and what I could do, which means I would have been less angry and less inspired as a result.
