I got into Facebook late, and I think if you get into Facebook late, you tend to use it the right way, as opposed to the people who got into it sooner and friended everybody and now have a thousand friends. I keep it at about 80 or so, and they're all people I know. Just because I do a movie doesn't mean I friend everybody in it.
Interpretation
What this quote means
The quote emphasizes the importance of meaningful connections over quantity in social networking.

He prioritizes quality relationships by keeping his friend list manageable, contrasting this with those who sought to amass a large number of friends without meaningful connections, thereby underlining the value of true friendship over mere social connections.
