real
I feel like I have no real solid plans like, "this is what I'm going to do and I will do it by 2017" or whatever.
opportunity
I can say for myself that I feel like I've gotten a ton of opportunities in the digital space and not a lot in the traditional space when I was first starting out.
opportunity world female
If anything, being a female has afforded me opportunities on YouTube that I necessarily didn't have in doing traditional comedy and auditioning in TV and film, and that whole world.
thinking opportunity people
I think hard-working people have more opportunities no matter what on YouTube, regardless of gender.
real talking ideas
The Internet is a very intimate entertainment experience. I'm in my own apartment talking to people, and I want them to feel like they're with me in my apartment. So if I'm listening to them and taking ideas from them and being honest with how I'm feeling, it resonates even more that we're having a real, actual conversation.
pride television way
A lot of YouTubers, because they have such pride in what they do, have a negative connotation towards television. I don't feel that way. I feel like it's another medium to reach a broader audience.
real tv-shows taste
I have terrible taste in things: music, movies, TV shows. I love all the guilty pleasures: Bravo, Real Housewives.
years grace kind
After doing a total of five years of Daily Grace, you kind of get burned out on doing the same thing over and over again, so I am allowing myself to not have totally any specific structure.
video watches youtube
It's insanely difficult to ask an audience to go somewhere other than YouTube to watch videos.
school giving credit
I did six internships, even though I was only allowed to do one. I had a paper with my advisor's signature on it that I would just forward for every new internship. I didn't get school credit, but I got away with giving free labor to everyone.
thinking common-threads role-models
I think if you ask people why they watch me, there would be some common thread among all of them that I'm somewhat of an awkward older sister. I have a teen, mostly female demographic. How that happened, I don't know. But I think they see me as some sort of bizarre role model, and I'll keep trying to do that for them.
hate creating internet
I hate auditioning; it makes me more nervous than anything ever, and I always feel like I wasted my time and I could have been creating my own thing. With the Internet, you have so much freedom that 'gatekeepers' make me terrified.
littles towns
Be the weirdest little weird in all Weird Town.
beautiful flower months
Once a month, a woman turns from a beautiful flower into an angry hippopotamus.
