If YouTube has plenty of premium content, people will watch that in the same way they watch 'Game of Thrones' or 'Breaking Bad.'

I would never put a movie on YouTube unless the funding was right, or unless YouTube paid for it or something.

The best thing about a platform like YouTube is that it helps musicians all around the world to reach such a vast audience.

So, one of the biggest things about YouTube versus any other platform is the built-in audience and discovery tools.

When we started doing YouTube, the goal was, hey, let's make stuff that we want to see, that entertains us.

I don't need YouTube's money. I have my own money.

We noticed that the most popular videos at YouTube showed people making things.

Me, personally, I don't upload video to YouTube.

People didn't go on YouTube to get famous back when I started.

I think a lot more people are starting to understand the power of YouTube.

For me, because I've been such a YouTube lover since day one, I want to continue doing YouTube but also branch out and do other things simultaneously.

It's insanely difficult to ask an audience to go somewhere other than YouTube to watch videos.

I started paying my bills with YouTube money around the time I hit a million views a month.

YouTube is such a funny little world. You can create a fanbase.

The best thing about YouTube is that anyone can do it, and that's exactly what I did.

In making YouTube videos, you can't just be an actor, you have to also know the shots and how to write.

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

Flash Video made platform sites like YouTube possible as well, and helped kick-start the online video revolution.

In the beginning, YouTube content wasn't up to the same standard as traditional media. Now, people are using it as a launchpad.

That's the beauty of YouTube. You can take whatever you want and create a video from your home and put it up, and you're just sharing it with your friends.

We won't allow the people to be devoured by YouTube, Facebook or others.

You can put your music out on YouTube and get messages from all over the world.

I create videos for my YouTube channel Chescaleigh and for 'Decoded,' a series with MTV.

I can't wait to bring #LizaOnDemand to my YouTube audience and hopefully a new audience, too.

YouTube can sometimes be really discouraging. When I first started doing it, I almost stopped doing it.

I'm known as a person who, like, steps out of the comfort zone. Who kind of breaks the rules and crosses the line in the sense of making YouTube videos.

Today, you have platforms that teach you everything from opening your own YouTube channel to using Shazam.

I really grew my own fan base. I started posting videos on YouTube with the help of my parents.

I know one of the reasons I first started making Youtube videos was because no one looks like me.

I love seeing the way in which young people embrace video, and the YouTube vlogger is a fantastic phenomenon.

If Youku had adopted YouTube's business model, we just would not be here. We would not exist.

YouTube is a problem. It has very big traffic, but it refuses to contribute to the weight of that traffic.

I was one of those kids who was just always on the Internet, always on YouTube, so it was easy for me to do it. It's not work. It's just fun.

After putting out songs with 26 million views on YouTube, your life changes a little bit. Suddenly everyone's like, 'Where's the album?'

I actually started my YouTube channel by accident! I was growing a fan base without even knowing it, and it's all in my book 'Is You Okay?'

My YouTube channel is kind of a library of all my issues I've lived with. To process it emotionally, it's been good and bad.

When I first started my channel, I was a freshman in college and worked at a pizzeria, but I still made YouTube a priority because I was passionate about it.

YouTube was always a secret space for me. I'd randomly post videos of me singing with guitar, or sometimes I'd post some half-finished film projects I'd made.

As a music video director, I have about 4 billion hits on my music videos on YouTube, and I'm really proud of that.

With YouTube, it's mostly about scripting and editing. Live performances depend on the crowd, their mood and reactions.

On YouTube, we were our own masters. We could sit on an edit until we got it right, we could choose quality over quantity.

I usually just watch YouTube videos or reruns on Netflix of older TV shows like 'Family Guy' and stuff. But I still really want to start watching more TV.

YouTube is an amazing platform for young musicians - although it's harder to get noticed now that everyone is on it.

Nowadays, you can be a fan of someone that's not an actor or artist. You can be a fan of someone that makes YouTube videos.

The thing that has made YouTube so successful is that you can relate to the people you're watching to a much higher degree than to the people you see on TV.

We spent zero dollars on advertising. We just had a YouTube video and that was it. We did a quarter million dollars in revenue, just in three weeks.

We want to get to a point where anything you can think of finding that is video related is searchable or recommended to you on YouTube.

I think the advent of things like YouTube have made it possible for creators to tell stories cheaply and efficiently and to have a built-in audience.

I'm trying to break away from doing covers or from being considered only as a YouTube star. I'm a singer, songwriter, sound engineer, and producer.

Creating content on YouTube played a huge role in helping define myself, as making videos was and still is a creative outlet for me - a way to express myself.
