I always enjoyed acting. My aunt was actually an actress.

It's so much easier to measure life in experience points.

I'm a big champion of people doing things outside the system.

The spirit is the thing I most love about my kind of geekdom.

Sustaining an audience with a web series is an impossible task.

I do not sleep, but it's totally fine, because I love what I do.

I love sitcoms, and I grew up on sitcoms. That's my tasty junk food.

I'd been on 'Buffy' - that is an amazing community, the Joss Whedon fans.

I believe you are never past the point of creating opportunities for yourself.

Surprisingly, I think if you're known on the Internet, you're probably an introvert.

You don't need millions of dollars or millions of people if you're doing what you love.

Nobody sets out to break new ground. I think change comes when people have no other choice.

Finishing games has been something I'm really proud of, seeing something through to the end.

I was a child of a tech family. My grandfather was a nuclear physicist and was always a gadget guy.

I'm resigned to the fact that the corseted history of America is not as exciting as that of Britain.

My favorite 'Mister Rogers' episodes were always the ones where Mr. Rogers would go into the community.

I would never let somebody say that they're me. That would be the ultimate betrayal of what I stand for.

I created 'The Guild' because nobody was offering me the roles I thought I could do best at in Hollywood.

Social media is an amazing tool, but it's really the face-to-face interaction that makes a long-term impact.

I still do commercial work as an actor, which I love, because it's very quick, and it definitely pays my bills.

I think every role is always exciting and intimidating. I've never had a role where I wasn't intimidated by it.

You never know how people are gonna receive you and especially a character that's so close to the fans in type...

I think Hollywood has seen what fandom can do for a project. You can definitely see that when you go to Comic-con.

I have a little obsessive-compulsive personality. You can tell because I played online games for eight hours a day.

TV and comics and movies are what you think about when you think about geek, but people can be a geek about anything.

Geek and Sundry has an eclectic line-up of shows all targeted around things I love: Comics, Tabletop Games, Books and more.

It's good to let the other worries have a vacation and have different worries take over and then go back to the old worries.

I learned that lack of budget can be overcome by fan passion if you can get your content to the people who like what you do.

I'm not a very vengeful person. I like to accept people; I tend to see the good in everybody, so I'm kind of stupid like that.

Basically, my socialization as a child didn't come from any schooling; it came from being in theater and meeting people online.

I've read every single fantasy novel there is. I mean, I would challenge a lot of people to read more fantasy novels than I have.

When I carve out time to game, it's because I rationalize that I 'deserve it,' so I relish every minute of that 2-3 hour session.

Just because you have star power and a huge marketing budget, you can see from some professional web series, it doesn't equal views.

I tend to have more anxious dreams where I'm late getting to places. That's definitely a recurring dream; I hate being late to places.

My goal with every show we put on Geek & Sundry is to make it that big of a success, not just within the video but within fandom itself.

My goal in creating Geek & Sundry was to create a community based around web video, and we've accomplished that, especially on our budget.

Hollywood typecast me as the secretary. I could have worked as the quirky secretary for the rest of my life, but I decided not to do that.

I think it's really good to create pockets and events throughout the year that highlight certain things that are really popular on YouTube.

Comic-Con has become more of a pop cultural festival, and to not be included feels like you're missing the biggest celebration of the year.

Obviously geek culture is super influential, the web kind of started from a very geeky point of view because geeks are all about technology.

On Tumblr, I'm really careful about not following too many things. I enjoy going on there to discover new things more than anywhere else now.

I could go off into the wilderness and write fantasy novels for the rest of my life and probably be happy; but I always want to challenge myself.

The support of my fans is something I treasure more than anything, and I wouldn't be here today without their support, their involvement in my shows.

Every single job is a challenge. You are walking into a new set, a new character, creating a world and trying to get comfortable to do your best work.

I actually did go through severe depression and anxiety attacks where I couldn't sleep for weeks. It was definitely several months of being not myself.

That's what I love about the Internet. Even if it's small-scale and you're just posting on a forum, that's an uncensored expression. That's what I love.

I don't appeal to everyone well. I appeal to fewer people in a much stronger way. That's what fandom is to me, and what creates fans for everything I make.

I don't need millions of dollars. I need to know that what I'm doing with my life is expressing who I am, and maybe making people happy. This is all we get.

I'm super excited about gaming always. That's the thing that I geek out over; those are the vlogs that I'm surfing if I'm not already playing a game at night.

In life they're not going to serve you lemons, they're going to serve you lemonade; and I don't really like lemonade because I've got a really bad acid reflux.
