Chamberlain: "When I was younger I had a gut feeling that I was going to use my personality in some way, but I didn't know how. But I always had an outgoing personality. That was the one thing that I was known for."
Chamberlain: "I ran out of any type of persona. I just had to be me."
Chamberlain: "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."
Chamberlain: "I would hope that young girls could relate to me and see that the lives of people on the internet are not as perfect as they seem."
Chamberlain: "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."
Chamberlain: "I'm a very predictable person."
Chamberlain: "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."
Chamberlain: "If I was staying the same, then I wouldn't be evolving and changing and that would be boring and that would be unhealthy."
Chamberlain: "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."
Chamberlain: "There's nothing anybody who watches my videos doesn't know about me, unless it's something genuinely sacred and private to me."
Chamberlain: "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."
Chamberlain: "I don't like to say things that I wouldn't want to say to someone's face. Those are my morals for life."
Chamberlain: "I would sit in class, and I would just cry. Like I don't even know why. It wasn't my school's fault. It wasn't anyone's fault. I just didn't like the environment. I totally had too much on my plate. At this point I wasn't even doing YouTube yet, mind you."
Chamberlain: "I've cried multiple times after posting a video. So much work goes into each video that I don't know how I'm still alive."
Chamberlain: "If somebody has a bad reputation on the internet or if they have a really good reputation on the internet, I don't care. I want to meet said person and make up my mind for myself, and then go from there."
Chamberlain: "Honestly, I was posting videos just to have something to do."
Chamberlain: "When something's really significant, whether it's good, bad, ugly, I like being able to look back at a moment in time that was high-emotion. Whenever I'm crying I like, weirdly, to document it."
Chamberlain: "It messed with my head a little bit when people started to imitate what I was doing."
