The social brain is in its natural habitat when we're talking with someone face-to-face in real time.

The most important thing in the face is the eyes, and if you can make the eyes talk, you're halfway there.

On the Web, we can be whoever we wish to be, editing the face we show to others in ways that aren't possible in physical space. We can also fine-tune the complexity and depth of our interactions and relationships.

It's hard to say exactly what it is about face-to-face contact that makes deals happen, but whatever it is, it hasn't yet been duplicated by technology.

There is never going to be a substitute for face-to-face communication, but we have seen since the alphabet, to the telephone and now the Internet, that whenever people find a new way to communicate, they will flock to it.

It is only at the first encounter that a face makes its full impression on us.

I would rather talk to a face than a camera.

Faces are the ledgers of our experience.

I know that I have a face, a look, people aren't used to seeing. A presence.

There's always so much more that can be conveyed on screen visually in the expressions of people's faces, in their bodies, in their body language. And also with sound design, with music.
