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.

I literally started from zero; I had zero subscribers. I remember my first subscriber - I was so excited, and then I looked, and it was my dad.

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.

Emma 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.

Emma 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.

Emma Chamberlain

I ran out of any type of persona. I just had to be me.

Emma 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.

Emma Chamberlain

My family wasn't shocked by my success, but I was. But they just knew I'd do something in entertainment.

During the middle of sophomore year, my friends and I would get bored at lunch, so we would film videos on my computer webcam of us dancing in the gym to Christmas music.

Emma Chamberlain

I've dealt with a lot of people with bad intentions. Just because somebody has a following does not mean that they are a good person or a good friend.

Emma 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.

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.

Emma 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.

Emma Chamberlain

There were times when we couldn't even go to the movies, when I was a kid, because there wasn't enough money.

Emma 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.

Emma 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.

Emma Chamberlain

I didn't have cable, so YouTube was my cartoons.

Emma Chamberlain

I'm a very predictable person.

Emma Chamberlain

I wasn't really big enough when I was filming at school for it to affect anyone too much, but I think my friends that were consistently in my videos during that time definitely got attention that they weren't anticipating. I'm not quite sure how they felt about it to be honest.

Emma Chamberlain

It messed with my head a little bit when people started to imitate what I was doing.

Emma 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.
