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 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.
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.
