My parents said that sitting at home playing video games all day won't bring you anywhere in life.
I just want to entertain; that is my main objective and what comes before everything else.
I'm just so very lucky to be able to do what I do for a living, and giving back is a way for me to express my gratitude. I'm so lucky to be in a position to help people, and that's appealing to me.
The thing that has made YouTube so successful is that you can relate to the people you're watching to a much higher degree than to the people you see on TV.
When I started my YouTube channel in 2010, I never imagined that one day it would be the most subscribed channel in the world and that I would be a part of such a great community.
Comments are my main way to communicate with you bros.
I'm not out to max my income. I think my viewers would call me on that right away if I did.
The fact that Disney bought Maker Studios doesn't really change anything for me.
I don't do interviews.
I often get recognized on the street.
In the very few interviews I've made, it doesn't matter how long we've talked to each other, the headline is still just about my paycheck.
I make funny videos of me playing video games, and I share those moments.
I'd like to help other YouTubers.
It was so much easier to connect with my fans when I was smaller. I could answer every message, and I enjoyed doing that.
When there's just so many games out there to play, Nintendo games just went to the bottom of that list.
Everyone has played video games at some point these days, and video games are fun.
Dropping the news to my parents that I was skipping my 'dream education' at Chalmers to sit at home recording videos while playing video games was not easy.
I just want to connect with you bros. That's all I care about, because you bros' support really means everything to me.
I'm so central to YouTube now, and that puts me in the spotlight and raises a lot of questions like, 'Why is he so big?'
What I and other YouTubers do is a very different thing; it's almost like hanging around and watching your pal play games.
