It's not that I'm a Luddite and don't like technology; I've just never been interested. When I moved to L.A. in 1997, nobody really had cell phones, and I just never went down that path. And I'm in a slightly unique position because when I'm working - and I've been working pretty much continuously for the last 10 years - I'm never more than five feet from somebody who has a phone.
A lot of the things people amuse themselves with really are just toys for grown-ups, and it eats your time and pulls your concentration.
By: Christopher Nolan
Context:
Director Christopher Nolan (who's been at the helm of some of most technologically advanced films of his generation) talking about the reason he doesn't have an email address or a cell phone.
