I think Hollywood has seen what fandom can do for a project. You can definitely see that when you go to Comic-con.
I feel like maybe I’m part of that generation that became more of a gamer than a video consumer. It’s always been something I’ve done with my spare time. If I had three hours on a Friday night, I’m not out partying. I’m probably playing video games.
For the vlogging channel, I wanted to build the infrastructure and build up all the personalities in a way that felt like weren’t just forcing the audience to watch everyone we have.
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.
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.
I was just confused about why I was feeling overwhelmed all the time and trying to adjust to having people work for me. Surprisingly, I think if you’re known on the Internet, you’re probably an introvert.
That’s the great thing about incubating something on the web: you have the potential to go to other platforms. Every single platform has a different audience that you find.
I always enjoyed acting. My aunt was actually an actress.
Social media is an amazing tool, but it’s really the face-to-face interaction that makes a long-term impact.
Surprisingly, I think if you’re known on the Internet, you’re probably an introvert.
I’m much more interested in shows that maybe not everybody loves, but a lot of people REALLY love. That’s how I am as a person. I’m as extreme as the roles in the shows that I like to be on.
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.
I’ll be in a series for three or four episodes, but then I’ll be off the series, and downtime, as an actor, is a little more than most people understand. Most of the time you’re just sitting around taking coffee with friends.
I’m definitely more of a ‘think game’ kind of girl. I’ll read every single dialogue and codex entry and lore entry. I really do love projecting myself and creating my character.
I do get offered a lot more roles than I choose to do. I’m very busy as a producer and a writer, especially with my Internet stuff, and I tend to only accept the roles that I know will have an impact and has a fanbase.
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.
If you know your characters well enough, you aren’t trying to grasp for storylines. You’re really thinking about their flaws and their passions and what they’re chasing.
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.
My dad was in the military, yeah. He was in the Air Force, and he was a doctor, so he would go places for six months here, and two years there. And I was home-schooled because I played the violin, and I did a lot of competitions.
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.
There is definitely a way in which women are raised to be less proactive, less business-oriented, and less willing to jump into creative no man’s land. I think media has more of an influence on how we perceive gender identity than anything else.
