Emily Blint spoke highly about her social media-free life to Vanity Fair, saying that “Social media has changed the landscape so an encounter with you is valued more as a social-media currency than a genuine interaction.”

“Frances McDormand told us — she just makes my teeth ache I love her so much — when someone asks her for a picture, she says, ‘You know what? I’ve actually retired from that. But I would like to shake your hand and meet you,’” she continued.

“I am always under the impression that I have a silly job for a living,” she continued. “But occasionally you will run into someone who deepens your feeling about it. Sometimes people will say they had cancer and ‘The Office’ was the only thing that made their family laugh during that time. You realize when you are in something that really touches people that it does offer an escape.”

“I think a movie lives or dies on word of mouth and the trailer. I have seen people do endless social-media campaigns and the movie tanks, so I don’t see a correlation,” she said. “I strongly believe that my job is to persuade you that I am playing somebody else, so exposing too much personally is just something I can’t get on board with.”
