Can anyone help with Vin Diesel quote?

[Arcane Joe]

Hi I'm looking for a quote from Vin Diesal about D&D where he says something about making characters that were an 'ideal self' or something. I think it was on the back cover of a book about the history of D&D. Can anyone provide the quote and say what book it was from?

Many thanks

I think it's from the 30th Anniversary book (a VERY cool book, by the way). He wrote the forward to it _ I think that's where this comes from.

I have the book at home ... I can provide the actual quote later if no one else beats me to it.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but cool anyway (IMHO)...

Thanks for those links guys - that's helped me to find it:

‘what really kept us hooked was the search for the character that represented our higher self. Playing D&D was a training ground for our imaginations and an opportunity to explore our own identities’
