Garrett Hedlund Quotes

I just happen to be from the generation that, like a lot of my older friends, started out writing letters.

It seems like I always wrote, I just didn't think of it as a career choice. I just liked to tell stories ... to myself, to pen pals (I had a lot of them, all over the world). Of course this was in the days before computers were everywhere, and anyone could access the Web.

I think I was lucky to come of age in a place and time - the American South in the 1960s and '70s - when the machine hadn't completely taken over life. The natural world was still the world, and machines - TV, telephone, cars - were still more or less ancillary, and computers were unheard of in everyday life.

When I was going to school in, like, '84 to '88, you didn't have cell phones. There was no e-mail, if you can wrap your brain around that.

Saving a letter from an old friend doesn't exist anymore. Everything is texted or emailed.

I'm basically a dinosaur. I don't use e-mail. But I do recognize the importance of science and the resulting possibilities.

I've never sent an email to anybody. I believe in keeping the postman in work.

I don't use the social media but I can see the effects in my own correspondence. I get a ton of correspondence. It used to be hard copy and now it's a very limited amount of actual letters people write. So it's mostly email.

You can email me, but I prefer letters that come through conventional mail. I like letters that have been licked by strangers.

I grew up on network sitcoms. If those are gone when I'm 65 years old, I would never forgive myself for not stepping up to that plate, as often as possible. I'm already bummed out that DVDs are dying off because, in my 20s, those were a huge thing.
