Weirdly enough, the best thing for my mental health was giving into my innate nature to work. And the most depressed I get is when I try to restrict it, like, 'I don't work weekends' or 'I don't work this day.'Collection: Health
I don't drive a Lamborghini. I'd purposely have a really dumbed-down lifestyle because it gives you freedom.Collection: Freedom
I grew up watching YouTube and I started making content at a really young age. It's really something I enjoy doing.
I like helping people. It makes me happy.
Honestly, I got my first brand deal for $10,000 and I gave it away. I got it, went outside and gave it to a homeless person. I don't want to play it up too much. It just felt good.
Instead of like giving into lobbyists or agendas, I just like do whatever's good for the American people. It sounds like it would be a good idea.
I like money because I can hire more people and grow a business but not so I can increase my lifestyle, or whatever.
Two people thought I was pretty demanding, which was perfectly fine. We have high standards, but it's not a toxic work environment.
If you watch 100 episodes of 'SpongeBob' and then the 101st is 'Adventure Time,' you'd be like, what is this? The same is true about your audience.
My whole goal in all of high school was to never go to college.
One dollar a day turned into two and then three. And then eventually I was making $10,000 a month then a $100,000 a month, then $1 million a month.
When I meet smaller creators, my advice is just to make 100 videos and improve one thing each video.
I'm trying to conquer the future.
I want to be the biggest channel on YouTube and to continue making content my fans love.
I genuinely enjoy helping people.
The videos take months of prep. A lot of them take four to five days of relentless filming. There's a reason other people don't do what I do.
When I was a smaller channel, the videos I was making sucked.
I've never seen anything that says that videos need to be longer. Just make videos that people want to watch.
Sometimes it's tempting to go for more clickbait or go cover more controversial topics, or just find a gimmick that'll get more people to click.
I've literally worked with over a thousand people.
It would be very silly of me to alienate basically half of America.
All my friends revolve around work.
I don't know why - and I'm not just saying this to look good - I've just always been a really nice guy.
I think we're due for younger presidents. I'm tired of them always being in their 70s.
Imagine I have like $10 billion and then I just give it all away and I'm just like 'I can't be bought.'... That's pretty powerful.
I hope to do YouTube until the day I die.
100 million means so much. I've been making videos since I was 11 years old. This number in a way represents everything I've ever done in my life and I'm so grateful to everyone who's ever watched a video.
I woke up, I studied YouTube, I studied videos, I studied film-making, I went to bed and that was my life.
The first million subscribers you get will take years, but the second will come in a few months.
The beauty of YouTube is double the effort isn't double the views, it's like 10x.
Money is a vehicle to do bigger videos and make better content.
Once you know how to make a video go viral, it's just about how to get as many out as possible. You can practically make unlimited money.
I can't envision a world where I'm not making YouTube videos. In a perfect world, I live and breathe this, working 12- to 15-hour days until I die.
All I do is wake up every day and obsess over how to make the best videos possible. It's all I care about. It's the only thing that's ever really made me happy.
I never wanted to go to college.
If you have a trillion dollars, you don't really have any problems.
I'm very forward-thinking.
I believe there is a God, but there are so many different religions and so many people who believe passionately about these things.
What's best for me is just to work when I feel like working.
There are just some nights where I don't wanna sleep, and for whatever reason, I feel compelled to go all night.
I really want to figure out how we can get more people eating something like Impossible meat.
The second someone can make lab-grown meat that actually tastes good enough where people don't even notice, then I'm all for it. I'm switching in a heartbeat.
A lot of people still see YouTubers as a subclass of influencers. They still just don't truly understand the influence a lot of creators have.
It's a world where I take 10 grand and light it on fire and make 20 grand.
Your probability of being a billionaire is higher if you don't make that your goal. Just focus on making a company that is dope.
I want to feed millions of people on a monthly basis, tens of millions one day.
I live to create content and I want to entertain people.
I just want to make the best YouTube videos possible.
