I think that connection with humans is so important. Sometimes I’ll do this monologue and talk to the crowd, like, ‘Come on, let’s really connect here.’ I don’t think a lot of people understand it’s a two-way exchange. Some people go to a show and are like, ‘Yeah, you make me feel.’ That’s not how it works.
If after you read something, you connect with it, you want to do it.
In barely one generation, we’ve moved from exulting in the time-saving devices that have so expanded our lives to trying to get away from them – often in order to make more time. The more ways we have to connect, the more many of us seem desperate to unplug.

A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.
The most extraordinary thing about trying to piece together the missing links in the evolutionary story is that when you do find a missing link and put it in the story, you suddenly need all these other missing links to connect to the new discovery.

My own experience with being interviewed is mixed. I suppose they’re a part of my job, and as I would like readers to connect with my books, I do them.

I make art primarily for myself and to show my friends, so I guess it’s important to make art that they can connect to.

I connect with people, but after sometime I need to be on my own.
I’ve been around young, talented, non-coachable players. I’ve been around veteran, talented, non-coachable players. No matter what you do, sooner or later – even if a coach comes in that’s able to connect with them – if that’s who they are, they’re going to go back to it.
I wanted to write with emotional honesty and tell a story people could connect with. And I wanted people to know how the foster system in America fails children; and how, at 18, they fall through the cracks. Then we can all work together and give support.

I wanted to communicate and connect. I simply didn’t seem able to do it.
I love social media and the ability to connect to new people through Twitter and Facebook and share my real time experiences with my mommy network.
By ‘flat’ I did not mean that the world is getting equal. I said that more people in more places can now compete, connect and collaborate with equal power and equal tools than ever before.

The movie has to have some essence where you connect with it. The reason I’m doing ‘Blade 2’ and not ‘Alien 4’ is because I connect with the universe of ‘Blade.’ I don’t connect with the universe of ‘Alien.’ Besides, I already did ‘Alien 4’: It’s called ‘Mimic.’

I think that music and art and film, at their best, can connect with something that is eternal in human beings, that might not have so many labels on it, something that’s ultimately universal and that may just be a feeling.

There’s been a vacuum with movies that people can relate to. There’s been a paucity of dramas that people can relate to. I think audiences are clamoring to connect – particularly after 9/11 – with things that are genuine and real and I think documentaries are filling that need.

It’s quite fun to mess with the human voice. It’s quite special in the sense that the voice is the #1 instrument that we can connect with; it doesn’t sound too alien. I think that’s the key is to find the line between sounding human and sounding robotic. That’s an area that I like to explore a lot.
Breath does, in fact, connect us all in a very literal way. Take a breath now. And as you breathe, think about what is in your breath. There perhaps is the CO2 from the person sitting next-door to you.

Fashion is really a place where every other industry connects, whether it’s music or acting. At the end of the day, everyone is going to walk the red carpet and be interested in the fashion side of it. I think that’s really cool because as a model, you get to connect with a lot of different worlds.
I feel like I can’t write something that has a real emotion in it if I can’t connect to that emotion.
I connect fashion to other peoples’ elegance, but not my own. I don’t think I’ve ever felt elegant. I’ve felt appropriate, but never elegant, and I wonder what that must be like.
