I don't go on social media.
It’s like a presidential press conference. Information goes in and information goes out, but there is not necessarily a connection between the two.
I'm very comfortable singing myself, first of all. Secondly, there's a certain disconnect when you write the song and you have someone else sing it for you. And it's kind of like a fakeness about it.
We [politicians] have a bad habit of not putting ourselves in the place of those we are trying to represent, and whose needs we are supposed to be considering.
I can't relate to lazy people. We don't speak the same language. I don't understand you. I don't want to understand you.
Adults weren’t supposed to understand their children and you were doing something wrong if they did.
... the inherent conflict and disconnect between campaigning (promising people all that they can have) and governing (explaining to people why they won’t get it).
The White House seems to be a sound-proof booth.
The President is the last person in the world to know what the people really want and think.
Clearly the tenets of capitalism are deeply and fundamentally misunderstood… At the same time that young people are rejecting capitalism and free markets, they celebrate entrepreneurs and free enterprise. This disconnect is at best confusing; at worst it’s troubling.
If you're having a very high-adrenaline, high-movement experience in virtual reality, and then all of a sudden you're back in your office, that disconnect is pretty notable. Whereas if you're using it for virtual reality teleconferencing... there's really no kind of impact moving back and forth between the real and the virtual world.
I think it's nice sometimes not to be plugged in 24/7 to email and the Internet and everything else. It's nice to get away.
I'm telling you, the disconnect is big, and the gap of understanding between the people in Washington, in news media, the New York/Boston/Washington corridor and the rest of the country, that gap is widening.
When I'm back at home it's just reality. I kind of separate myself from Hollywood.
I think all politicians have gotten out of touch.
While NASA talks about 'Are we alone?' as a number one question, they are putting zero money into searching for intelligent life. There's a big disconnect there.
I mean, I didn't ever watch 'Gilligan's Island' and think, 'Those people are actors.' I lived in West Virginia. Hollywood just felt like this total other universe.
I can connect Nothing with nothing
We are living in dystopia, in a world that is dominated by technology and disconnect, alienation, loneliness, and dysfunction.
More and more, my life is going in a direction that is not universal; there's only a very small group of people who understand.
I think politicians are so far out of step with what people really want.
Sometimes I feel that every word spoken and every gesture made merely serve to exacerbate misunderstandings. Then what I would really like is to escape into a great silence and impose that silence on everyone else.
I'm from another time period. E-mailing sometimes, for me, is difficult.
No phone. No pool. No pets. No cigarettes. Ultimate freedom... No longer to be poisoned by civilization, he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become Lost in the Wild.
What I say and what I'm really experiencing - those universes are very different.
