I try to be measured and thoughtful about what I put out there because I know a lot of young people follow me on Twitter, and I take that seriously – which is why I don’t exclusively tweet about cookies and ‘Game of Thrones’ and YA.
I’m the sort of person who takes a camera to dinner or a nightclub because I enjoy taking pictures of people. I tweet all my pictures, which is bad.
I have every right to tweet.
I tweet 20 times a day, not only about Mexican politics, but about film, books, restaurants, U.S. politics.
It’s funny, because I have periods where I just kind of go dark. I don’t tweet, I don’t talk, I don’t interview, and then I have times where I do.
If you have time to get your pet rabbit its own Instagram account, you have time to at least tweet about something important.
Most of the stuff that people look at on Quora today was not written in the last month. You write something really good, and maybe it’s the definitive answer on the Internet for the next 10 years. Maybe it’s only a year, but not like a tweet, where it’s only relevant for a day or a week.
A play is not a tweet. It can’t be compressed and embedded, and it definitely can’t be delivered apologetically.
My favorite topical tweets are the ones that put a tweet in context so it illuminates a deeper truth or societal trend.
I try not to be too invasive into my personal life. When I was younger, I used to tweet a lot, everything I was doing and feeling. I can’t do that anymore, because it’s just giving people too much room to judge.
Seeing people Tweet my lyrics and really feeling for me, feeling what I’m feeling… in one of my lyrics I sing about ‘the watch I just got for you,’ and some girl was like, ‘Yes! I bought him a watch!’ I can be happy because these women feel me.
Everyone feels like there’s something you should do: you should make a song, do a YouTube video, get your views, put it on Spotify, tweet it, Instagram it, do it again and again and again. And I think, that’s not what I’m living for. I ain’t living for that.
I feel it is my duty to help the migrants, the heartbeats of our country. We have seen migrants walking on the highways with their families and kids. We just can’t sit in the AC and tweet and show our concern till we don’t go on the roads, till we don’t become one of them.
I’ll sometimes go a week or two without tweeting, and then when I’m in the mood, tweet loads, and clog up people’s in-boxes. It’s a moment when you feel like sharing something.
I’m such a grandma. I don’t tweet; I don’t have a Facebook page.
It is tiring to be Turkish. The country is badly polarised, bitterly politicized. Every writer, journalist, poet knows that because of an article, a novel, an interview, a poem or a tweet you can be sued, put on trial, even arrested. Self-censorship is widespread.
Donald Trump does not touch alcohol, which is really respectable. But think about that. That means every statement, every interview, every tweet – completely sober.
You cannot be the leader of the free world and sit on the sidelines and tweet and think you’re going to get the job done.
What people don’t realize about Donald Trump – and I don’t even know if Donald Trump realizes it – is that every tweet he unleashes against you… creates such a crescendo of anger.
I think about Twitter as the friend that’s always awake. It’s why I tweet so much.
The Obama Doctrine is the first presidential strategy in history that is exclusively about communicating – not implementing – policy. The Obama Doctrine seems to be ‘tweet with overwhelming force.’
What am I going to tweet about? My sneakers?
I’m sort of awkward with technology, and I think I’m the type of guy who would have something cool happen to him, and it would take, like, five days to figure out how to tweet it.
I don’t tweet because I don’t need another creative venue. I don’t need another form for self-expression. I don’t need another way to get my thoughts out to people. I have one. I’m good.
I don’t tweet, I don’t go on Facebook. I think there’s too much information about all of us out there. I’m liking the idea of privacy more and more.
I feel like people only want to hear me say funny things. Like, I don’t tweet about my kids or being a mom, ever, because I’m very aware that that’s annoying for people to hear.
Basically, I don’t like to tweet stuff about my life. I only like to tweet jokes.
I’m very concerned about President Trump and his policy by tweet.
When CNN does a story and then says, ‘Tweet us what you think’ – why? Why does it matter what I think? Why should my thoughts be broadcast on a national news program? It’s enough for me to just sit and listen and learn.
Social media has come a long way. With the good has come some bad, and you always have a lot of people hiding behind their computers and being very critical of what you do on and off the field, of what you tweet, of what you say, of everything you do.
We’re so obsessed with, ‘Is Michael Cohen going to jail or not? Is Rod Rosenstein going to be fired? What did Trump tweet today? Did he call the press an enemy of the state?’ We’re so focused on that, we’re missing just the tremendous damage Trump is doing to the decency and moral character of this country.
Of course, I tweet. Tweeting is a very personal form of expression. Who else could talk about my son refusing to wear a suit to meet the Pope, my husband flying a helicopter, or take a twitpic from our home?
Essentially, you become a top tweet because so many people are engaging with that tweet. They’re either retweeting it, or they’re favoriting it; they’re doing one of many things to indicate to us that that tweet is interesting and engaging to users.
I’ve only very rarely sent a tweet to a politician. I think it could look a little too buddy-buddy if you’re tweeting with people that you cover.
I’m always amazed by people who blog all the time and tweet all the time, and still get things done. I don’t know how they do it.
I don’t tweet – I have nothing to say.
I’ve loved Patti LaBelle since I was a little girl. I love her so much because she’s spontaneous. I love Shirley Murdock, Keyshia Cole, Jazmine Sullivan and Tweet and Faith Evans. Faith’s songs got me through a lot.
I don’t tweet very much. I still believe in the mystery of an artist. I believe in going out when I’m ready to sell my product. A lot of artists are out there every day. But I remember the Julio Iglesiases, the Jose Joses – and it was about the music.
Down on the ground, we seem to do anything but make lengthy, robust monologues. We can communicate in an instant almost anywhere. Gone is the slow old letter – itself a monologue, a sort of considered performance of best self – and in its place is the e-mail, the text, the SMS, the tweet.
If you tweet for me, I’ll tweet for you.
Social media is a giant distraction to the ultimate aim, which is honing your craft as a songwriter. There are people who are exceptional at it, however, and if you can do both things, then that’s fantastic, but if you are a writer, the time is better spent on a clever lyric than a clever tweet.
I think comedians should focus on what makes them happy, what art form fulfills them the most. Don’t be calculated about it and say, ‘Okay, I’m gonna tweet, and I’m gonna podcast, and I’m gonna do standup, and one of those things is going to lead me to my own TV show.’ I don’t think that should be the goal.
Probably 60% of my followers are from Argentina, so I tweet more in Spanish.
I had to stop following certain friends because I was constantly seeing them tweet about all the parties that I wasn’t invited to! The worst is the Twitpic – people take pictures of themselves at these fun dinners, and you’re not there.
Read each tweet about 95 times before you send it. Look at every Instagram post about 95 times before you send it.
If I catch one of my fans saying something improper, a gay slur or any derogatory term, I instantly tweet directly at them and say, ‘This isn’t how we do it.’
As I was growing my social media following and doing things in Los Angeles, kids in my school would start to hate on me, tweet me stuff… you name it, they said it to me.
There is a Twitter account apparently dedicated to my brows. I do not Tweet on it, but… they talk about who they’ve seen today.
I’d love to work with Tweet. She’s my favorite singer, and I’d love to do a song with her even though she’s out of my league.
Every time my TweetDeck shoots a new tweet to my desktop, I experience a little dopamine spritz that takes me away from… from… wait, what was I saying?
One Tweet can be heard ’round the world if the right people retweet it and the right people notice it on their feeds.
On Twitter, when someone would die, I would write a joke. Or if there’s a tragedy, I would write a joke and tweet it. That was my thing, and then at a certain point, people started demanding it.
You know, when my dad was a racing fan in Australia he would follow Jack Brabham and sometimes only hear if he won two days after a race – when the result finally appeared in his newspaper. These days I can tweet something and it’s all over the world in seconds.
People can hide behind a computer, they can hide behind a cell phone, they can tweet. They can say whatever they want. I’m not worried about them.
I’m not the rapper that’s too cool to tweet and talk to fans.
