You like first-person shooter games. What are your favorites?

I love Assassins Creed. I just got the Halo download code for Xbox. I’m so excited to play that.

I like the first-person shooters because I feel more capable. Instead of looking out from afar, it feels different when the screen becomes your eyes. And so I just kind of leaned into that a little bit more.

But what I play on a daily basis is a trivia game called Category Quiz. The categories that I typically pick are tech, science, animals, food, geography. I’m not good at art and literature. I’m not good at history. Politics I’m OK with. Economics, I’m good at, thankfully. But art, literature and history — those are for the birds. I get so sleepy on those things.

Your house has a lot of tech in it. Tell us about it.

My home is officially a smart home, and it’s the best thing that has ever happened. I think it’s the coolest, most functional system I’ve ever used. I’ve had different iterations of technology. They work for like a day while the person’s there with you and then soon after that, everything just starts to fall apart. But I have this really great system with all these different TVs. I’m big on TVs.

I also have a really great security system that is connected to my phone [and] also controls my lighting. So I can be lying on the couch and if I don’t want to get up to get the lights over there, I just turn on my phone and I can just lower the lights. That’s awesome.

The biggest thing, I think, about a smart home is that you are more safe. I can set my alarm from my house anywhere, and if somebody needs to get in because something happened or a pipe breaks, I can unlock the house from my phone and undo the alarm. And then as soon as they’re done, I set it back on. So I feel really secure and safe.

You were an early investor in Uber. Why do you like ride sharing?

This is how I explained Uber to people when it first came out and they didn’t know what Uber was: It’s like always having a friend to come pick you up from anywhere, but you pay them.

Earlier, I asked you what tech you’d most like to see, and you said hoverboards like those from “Back to the Future.” That took me a little by surprise.

Really? It took you by surprise. It should be the only thing that you think about. It’s the only thing I think about on a daily basis. I feel like I’ve been robbed. I feel like the future has let us all down. It should be the only thing you think about, Connie. Every day you should think about this. This is what we should push our politicians to be working on. I mean there’s all these extra funds that are going into God knows what, but hoverboards have been promised to us from way back.

I’m driving in LA and I see all this traffic and I’m like, all this air space above us, I could be hovering around this. And I just feel like we have let ourselves down. It would be great to see a hoverboard — a Tesla hoverboard. I mean we can go to the moon, but I can’t hover over the traffic.
