As soon as I was getting YouTube comments and hit 100 subscribers, I was thinking 'maybe there's something to this. I could keep going. I don't know how far I can really push it just reviewing random indie bands on YouTube, but it seems to have more gas in the tank.'

Anthony Fantano

For me posting videos on YouTube and interacting with people on Twitter is a great release from the stresses of football.

I usually just go on Google and spend my hours just Googling Jennifer Beals. I think it's possible that I have a slightly unordinary obsession with her. YouTube videos. Interviews with her. Pictures I put on my desktop and my phone.

I have a channel on YouTube called Buckshotwon. It started off as a kind of joke, just behind-the-scenes goofs.

I love Alain de Botton and listen to his little 'School of Life' YouTube vids as I do the dishes.

Big labels can buy you radio play, they can buy you social media likes and YouTube views. I don't have any of that, but I'm still getting a Top 3 album and Top 20 singles.

I think the Internet has developed at this incredibly rapid pace because of net neutrality, because of the free nature of it, because a YouTube can start the way YouTube started.

By the time I'm in the studio recording my parody, 10,000 parodies of that song are on YouTube.

If there is a viral video on the Internet, you know it's on YouTube. You can search for it, find it, see the view count, and then take that link and share it with whomever you want. That's what we are doing for images.

We want to be like a YouTube for viral images.

My journey began when I found out about YouTube on how do you make music, and from that, people started explaining me how I had to do it.

Alan Walker

Music Art YouTube

I was able to turn to classical music many people, who saw my programs live and on YouTube, and this is one of the nicest achievements I can have.

Aleksey Igudesman

Music Men YouTube

I was too shy to do any vocal lessons or go to choirs; I just didn't want to be seen doing it. It's something that I kept to myself. I started easing into it, and I started doing talent shows, and YouTube really helped with that, too.

Alessia Cara

YouTube is my first love.

I never thought I'd have a career because of YouTube.

I don't really have time to watch too much, but I like 'Family Guy' and 'Entourage.' I'm also obsessed with the YouTube series 'Balls of Steel.' It's hilarious.

YouTube is covered in comments that would be better expressed - and better spelled - via a simple thumbs-up or down.

Alexandra Petri

Men YouTube You

I was on Tumblr when I was 12 or 13. I was on YouTube, too. I had a channel and made music videos. It had 50,000 subscribers.

I wanted to be a venture capitalist and join Sequoia Capital. They've financed and helped built some really special and enormously successful companies, including Google, Yahoo, Paypal, YouTube, Cisco, Oracle, Apple, and also Zappos.

YouTube clips get millions, billions of hits. Reality TV programs have their own channels. How can movies attempt to compete with these kinds of numbers? And do we even need to? Are we scaring ourselves by unnecessary comparisons, by not comparing apples with apples?

Alison Owen

Stand-ups are always good to see on YouTube. There's a guy named Mike Head who lives in Cleveland. He's great. He's an African-American stand-up.

Allison Jones

Great Good YouTube

I went on YouTube and saw videos of Angelina Jolie on some talk show showing people switchblade tricks, and I was like, 'That's what I want to do.'

Alycia Debnam-Carey

Oh God, it's such a big world right now for artists. There are as many possibilities as you can have time for, getting your music out there with the internet, and Youtube, Vimeo, Facebook, and everything that you have, there is a way to spread the word. To me, the first thing you have to have is substance and content and real depth.

Amy Ray

I started a YouTube channel called Days of Dre. There's a lot of content on there.

Andre Drummond

YouTube came out when I was a sophomore in college, and I feel like I was one of the first people to put musical theater stuff online.

Andrew Keenan-Bolger

I think the advent of things like YouTube have made it possible for creators to tell stories cheaply and efficiently and to have a built-in audience.

Andrew Keenan-Bolger

One of my relatives had been asking me on how he could break into AI. For him to learn AI - deep-learning, technically - a lot of facts exist on the Internet, but it is difficult for someone to go and read the right combination of research papers and find blog posts and YouTube videos and figure out themselves on how to learn deep-learning.

Andrew Ng

I searched YouTube for 'deaf music videos' and watched them with the sound muted. I noticed that though you could understand the words being signed, the sense of rhythm was lost. That's when I had the idea to create a video where you could see the sounds you couldn't hear.

Andy Mineo

A sign now of success with a certain audience when you do a short comedy piece, anywhere, is that it gets on YouTube and gets around. It's always something you're thinking about unconsciously.

Andy Samberg

I was frustrated with how academia tended to present feminist theory in disconnected or inaccessible ways. I wanted to try and bring a sociological feminist lens to the limited and limiting representations of women in the media and then share that with other young women of my generation. YouTube was the perfect medium.

Anita Sarkeesian

One of the first jokes I wrote was this nail salon bit that ended up blowing up on YouTube. That's kind of what propelled me into standup.

Anjelah Johnson

Phone screens are too small to properly appreciate YouTube videos.

Ann Makosinski

My YouTube channel is kind of a library of all my issues I've lived with. To process it emotionally, it's been good and bad.

Anna Akana

I'm making 20 times more with Vessel for doing the same amount of work, if not less, than with YouTube.

Anna Akana

When you're watching 1D Youtube videos and going to their concerts and tweeting them, there's always a desire for more - and there's nothing like sitting down and spending time with them in the form of fan fiction.

Anna Todd

Quite a lot has been written, including by me, about the effect of social media on politics, and in particular the way in which the algorithms built into Facebook and YouTube are more likely to spread angry, extremist and deliberately provocative political language.

Anne Applebaum

I watched a bunch of clips - YouTube clips, because I couldn't bring myself to watch entire shows - of, you know, 'Kardashians' and that kind of thing.

Annie Murphy

You and I can go on YouTube and learn how to fix a tractor engine or learn Farsi. Groups are using those tools to recruit young people into a climate of hatred.

Anthony Doerr

As soon as I was getting YouTube comments and hit 100 subscribers, I was thinking 'maybe there's something to this. I could keep going. I don't know how far I can really push it just reviewing random indie bands on YouTube, but it seems to have more gas in the tank.'

Anthony Fantano

We're muddying the waters when we are having a discussion about what's going on on YouTube and Twitter and whether that's a matter of free speech. These are private platforms and they're allowed to decide what should and should not be on its platforms. It's not an issue of free speech.

Anthony Fantano

We're trying to evolve a lot away from YouTube because YouTube is awesome - they have a huge audience, and we started there - but then you're at the mercy of their algorithms a lot, too. They can change anything, and it's really up to them, and you can't say anything about it.

Anthony Padilla

At the beginning, there was this competitive vibe, like, 'Oh, we've got to compete for this audience.' But then, over the next few years afterwards, everyone on YouTube realized the more we work together, the more we collaborate, it just benefits everyone. It just became a really friendly community.

Anthony Padilla

Yes, DVDs are gone, but there is this wonderful Internet platform out there called YouTube.

Anthony Russo

Stop being childish. Use your time better - better yourself. Read a book, or do a workout exercise on YouTube.

Anthony Yarde

I sometimes look on YouTube and see people label videos 'Anthony Yarde sparring his trainer Ade' but that is not sparring, that's just practice. We practice getting attacked, countering and attacking your opponent back, in intelligent ways.

Anthony Yarde

I knew I wanted to sing and maybe I had a chance at it, so I just started recording myself maybe five or six times a week and putting them on YouTube as much as I could with hopes that someone would recognize me.

Ari Lennox

But yeah, YouTube started for me straight out of high school, so 2009, because everyone was going to college except me.

Ari Lennox

The Obama campaign has adeptly used YouTube and social networks as a relatively thrifty way to do targeted messaging.

Ari Melber

Companies like YouTube will continue to be tested on their commitment to the mission that made them such popular and profitable websites - providing an open platform to a wide range of ideas from around the world.

Ari Melber

I would not understand when people will tell me that 'Tum hi ho' has got more than 1 million views on YouTube. I was like, 'How does it make a difference?' Later, I would go to YouTube and see songs of Rihanna, Enrique etc. and would see their hits. Then I came to know the importance. Nowadays, you can judge from these sites how big is a sing.

Arijit Singh

My 11-year-old thinks I'm cool because he watches things I've made on YouTube.
