Damn.Kojima was very honest about his work/life balance -- he gave his schedule during the week as sleeping for only four hours a night, and working or in meetings the rest of the day. He said that even he regrets being away from his family so much, but that he tries to keep weekends free just to spend with them. He also told the story of his son coming into the office with him while designing Metal Gear Solid, when the designers sometimes used Lego pieces to put the levels together. His son returned to his wife, who was already unhappy with the amount of time Kojima was spending away, only to report that his Dad "plays with Legos all day."
