Science & Tech Quote by Michael Biehn

There is something almost defiant about a working actor in the internet age admitting, flat-out, that he has no idea what a website is. Coming from Michael Biehn - a face associated with high-tech paranoia and militarized futurism in films like The Terminator and Aliens - the line lands with built-in irony: the guy who helped define our pop imagination of machine-driven futures is, by his own account, opting out of the most ordinary machine in the present.

The intent reads as both boundary and brand management. On its surface, it is practical: a way of saying, "Talk to my publicist", without sounding corporate. Underneath, it pushes back against a culture that treats constant connectivity as a civic duty and a prerequisite for relevance. Celebrities are expected to be their own media companies now, packaging authenticity on command. Biehn's refusal (or professed ignorance) becomes a kind of authenticity-by-absence: he's not performing online intimacy because he isn't online at all.

The subtext also hints at generational whiplash. Born in 1956, Biehn came up in an industry where your mystique was protected by distance. The modern star system collapses that distance, and the quote frames the collapse as not just unwanted but illegible. It works because it's blunt, almost comically behind-the-times, and in that bluntness it functions as a quiet critique: not everyone wants to live inside the feed, even if the feed insists they should.
