Check thyself before thy wreck thyself.

My life and happiness speaks for itself.

I'll be a YouTuber for as long as I love it.

I'm a casual watcher. I like to stream everything.

I wanted to do something that small towns would enjoy.

I'm usually so in control, especially for YouTube videos.

I'm a firm believer in making it happen - no matter what 'it' is.

I'm a genuine lover of music. I've always watched the Grammys from home.

The Internet is accelerating the speed of acceptance and social justice.

I really like Nick Jonas. I think he is super-cute, handsome and talented.

I think everyone just goes to London and says like, oh I went international!

I hope to introduce my audience to who I think is the next class of YouTuber.

My ideal guy is my future husband. Not sure who he is yet, but he's out there.

I can fluently speak five languages: English, emoji, sexting, sarcasm and sass.

A lot of the education that I got at Michigan State I still use to this very day.

On YouTube, if anything, coming out as gay or bi or trans explodes someone's popularity.

Being misunderstood - that's the thing that scares me. Because my life is about oversharing.

It feels like an amazing opportunity to positively impact the world. That's what I hope to do.

I keep a lot to myself, and I cherish the things that are for me and the people closest to me.

I want people to get a better sense of who I am, whether they've seen every video or zero videos.

I literally believe I'm going to do everything I set out to do, which is a pretty amazing feeling.

You have to fall in love with yourself first, and if someone wants to join you, more power to them!

I think social media has amplified a lot of voices that maybe traditional media hasn't perfectly portrayed.

My one guilty pleasure is, every airport, I will drop everything to get an airport massage at those kiosks.

I just try to surround myself with good, positive supportive people who are trying to make the world better.

I can have a thousand people say the nicest things, but I'll always notice the one person who doesn't get me.

I remember having 100 views on a video and being like, "I don't have a hundred friends." So that was a moment.

I literally cannot even. I can't even. I am unable to even. I have lost my ability to even. I am so unable to even.

I am a fangirl of talent, so to see someone slaying the competition doing what I'd love to do, that's inspiring to me.

I think traditional is trying to go more digital and digital is trying to go more traditional. We're meeting in the middle.

In creating my YouTube videos, I don't want to speak for my audience and the people I represent; I want to amplify their voices.

For any YouTuber, if you're too nervous to have somebody else document, it may be that what you're putting out there isn't authentic.

I used to joke that I wanted to go to the moon, but I actually do. Like, some day I think I'm going to go to the moon. That would be cool.

I initially thought I was going to be a teacher. Maybe like an elementary teacher or something like that, which would be fun. Maybe someday.

I try my hardest to not let hate mail influence me - because anybody can put out hate, it takes a much stronger person to put out themselves.

I hope you learn to love yourself for who you are and what you look like, and how you were born to be, because you are perfect in your own way.

I feel like everybody, whether you have one follower or a million followers, has an opportunity to either positively or negatively affect people.

You don't go to your 9 to 5 and share every story with your coworkers, and in the same way, not every YouTuber shares every story with their audience.

I try to be conscious of others, put my best foot forward and show growth. I just try to be my best self - and I think that is the most important thing.

I first discovered YouTube while browsing the web, and then I found people just talking into their cameras. I never even knew it was a thing you could do.

Three things that always bring a smile to my face: making guacamole for my friends, getting pedicures with my mom, exploring an airport I've never been in.

I'm a human just like any of the people that you adore, whether they're in TV shows or movies or they're writers or YouTubers. Their lives are not perfect.

I definitely have aspirations outside of YouTube, but I think there's a lot of people on YouTube who want to leave YouTube. I don't want to leave; I love it.

In middle school, I was really into the 'Redwall' series, about anthropomorphic rodents in medieval times. I had a bowl cut, too, if you need the full imagery.

2015 was, like, packed from January. 2016 is simultaneously open and packed - but I'm trying to keep 2016 open as possible so I can do weird, crazy, kooky stuff.

Best thing about doing Youtube as a job - the Youtube friends that I've met all around the world, that I never would have got the chance to meet without Youtube.

In 2016, one of the things I really hope to do is discover new talent and help develop it. Take what I've learned and what I can do and help amplify those voices.

If you are just yourself, that's when people start gravitating towards you because nobody else can be you except you. Be authentic, don't give up, and start today.

There was no Twitter when I was in high school, so I can't even imagine the pressures or the expectations of pursuing likes or living life in that kind of mentality.

To me, what's really an important difference between traditional entertainment and digital - on YouTube specifically - is that people thrive when they're authentic about themselves.
