I don’t live my life seeking validation from people on social media.
The social media platforms have taken over the distribution of news globally. They treat a lie the same way you would treat a fact.
Social media is about friending someone so they’ll invite you to a party or get you a job. If that’s the work, Snapchat is the playground.
The most obvious drawback of social media is that they are aggressive distractions.

This whole social media scene makes me sick.
It’s amazing how much information we share in social media, then we wonder why people steal our identity.
I was kind of loathe to go on social media. I find the trolling unacceptable, and I never wanted to look like I was someone who would accept that.

It’s very much the currency of discourse on social media where political disagreements very quickly become very personalised.
I know having a social media profile removed is a 21st century privileged problem – but it is the way a lot of us live. These profiles mimic our physical selves and a lot of the time are even more important. They are ways to connect with an audience, to start discussion, and to create change.
Good social media is authentic. What makes social media work is actually having something to say.
It may be coincidence that the decline of newspapers has corresponded with the rise of social media. Or maybe not.
When I moved to New York City to go college, my mother said, ‘If you want to be recognized, you need to go out to a club.’ Because we didn’t have computers. We didn’t have social media. We didn’t even have cellphones. So you had to go out to be recognized.

When mom and dad were at the height of their careers, and things were super-crazy, and they couldn’t leave their houses, there wasn’t social media. It was all about autographs. Now, everyone’s the press. I feel fame is perforated: it can be glorious, but it can completely destroy a human, too.
Social media give me the privilege of learning about more people than I could meet in my whole life. Taken together, the Internet reads like the grandest character-driven novel humanity has ever known. Not much plot, though.
We’ve shown the entertainment industry what social media is capable of doing for a movie. ‘Sharknado’ is now a noun.
Ten years ago, you wrote a book and you never expected to find out anything about the author. Now with social media, everyone wants that connection. I think our readers want to be invited into our lives and brought on the journey and be part of this whole process.
