"I like to connect to people in the virtual world, exchanging thoughts and ideas, when in the physical world we might never have the opportunity to cross paths"
About this Quote
The subtext is both personal and reputational. For someone whose public life has been shaped by fame’s distortions - tabloid narratives, body scrutiny, the weird intimacy of being watched by strangers - online interaction offers a different kind of agency. You can choose your audience, calibrate vulnerability, and meet people on the basis of curiosity instead of access. The phrase “might never have the opportunity to cross paths” nods to the old geography of power: who gets into which rooms, who gets introduced to whom, whose voice is treated as “relevant.”
Culturally, the quote sits in the early-21st-century optimism about the internet as a bridge, before the cynicism fully hardens into doomscroll fatigue. It’s not naive so much as aspirational: a celebrity arguing that technology can flatten the hierarchy that celebrity itself creates. The appeal is emotional and practical at once - connection without the velvet rope.
