I’ve always been the one who struggled financially, so now it’s so cool that I can make my own money and do whatever I want with it."

There were times when we couldn’t even go to the movies, when I was a kid, because there wasn’t enough money."

I’ve dealt with a lot of people with bad intentions. Just because somebody has a following does not mean that they are a good person or a good friend.

If I was staying the same, then I wouldn’t be evolving and changing and that would be boring and that would be unhealthy."

Relationships with people in general, in no matter what capacity, are something that’s very emotional. They mean a lot to you. I think having eyes on that in a critical way can be really tough."

I grew up watching YouTube and it was tough feeling like everyone I watched had a perfect life. I couldn't help but feel that my life sucked when I watched their videos.

I don’t like to say things that I wouldn’t want to say to someone’s face. Those are my morals for life.

For me personally, I just don’t have anything to prove anymore. I know exactly who I am, I know that I’m intelligent and acting dumb or acting like whatever. If that’s funny to me because I know it’s false then so be it."

It is so rewarding to have a community that I can interact with. Whether it's meeting them in person or reading their comments, it's all so surreal and humbling.

Let’s say another YouTuber rates my outfit from Coachella, right? They are completely entitled to their opinion, and I actually really loved my Coachella outfit. If they say, ‘This is ugly,’ and even if I don’t think it’s true, it’s a mood killer."

My family wasn’t shocked by my success, but I was. But they just knew I’d do something in entertainment."

There’s nothing anybody who watches my videos doesn’t know about me, unless it’s something genuinely sacred and private to me."
