I love tattoos. And mine symbolise who I really am. I have a Samurai on my left arm. At a subconscious level, I connect to this warrior and model myself on his discipline, skills and honour. There is also a tribal tattoo and a Chinese symbol of faith. I have seen a lot of people getting tattoos just because it’s a trend.

In Vice, I saw all of it in one. I saw a studio. I saw a content creator. I saw an agency. I saw a distributor. We want to learn from them. They’re talking to a generation we’re struggling to connect to as an industry.

The charge that liberal candidates don’t connect with or understand the values and beliefs of regular Americans is embedded in old epithets like ‘limousine liberal,’ which I first heard aimed at New York Mayor John Lindsay in 1969.
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.
Cerner’s focus over the last 20 years has been to provide healthcare, predominately healthcare providers, with advanced clinical and management information systems.

Every role you play is literally – and I’ve said this before – every single role that you play, the only way you can connect to that character is because that was a piece of you that was scattered around that yard, almost like we got caught up in some whirlwind.
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.

Meditation is the bridge that helps connect you with your inner self. I believe that quietude also makes one more creative.
I also think a Hot Mom is someone who can connect with what’s current in her kids’ world.
The blues is something separate from what I do. They connect at certain spots, but blues is different. I wouldn’t put it in with what my career has been. That would be a whole separate wing.
Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.

I just read the scripts that come to me, and I see the ones which I really kind of understand and connect with, whether that’s a science fiction or a period piece. It doesn’t really matter as long as they’re original and I have something to do with the character.
Give, give, give – what is the point of having experience, knowledge or talent if I don’t give it away? Of having stories if I don’t tell them to others? Of having wealth if I don’t share it? I don’t intend to be cremated with any of it! It is in giving that I connect with others, with the world and with the divine.
