I think the "I always say" part is my favourite. It indicates that this is something she's thought about and brought up multiple times lmao.

Lol if you read the article, it turns out she does indeed always say it.

Mirren has referenced Cobain numerous times in the past when discussing the nature of aging. In 2014, she told Oprah Winfrey, “Look at Kurt Cobain - he hardly even saw a computer! The digital stuff that’s going on is so exciting. I’m just so curious about what happens next.”

A year later, she told Cosmopolitan, “I was thinking about Kurt Cobain the other day and he died without knowing the internet, and I’m totally blown away by that.” And, in 2016, she said to the Daily Mail, “If I’d died at 27, the age that Kurt Cobain [of rock band Nirvana] died in 1994, I’d never have even known there was an internet! Incredible things are happening all the time and I can’t wait to see what comes next.”

What kind of Jaden Smith logic

I thought the hilarious title was going to be explained differently in the post, but no, she really said exactly that!

I grew up using maps, and I kind of miss them. My sense of direction is already bad and I know relying on GPS/map apps has made it worse (although I will never not love checking my route before I leave to see whether I need to avoid bad traffic).
