On YouTube, I've stayed very limited with what I've been willing to share, so it's been very surface-level with Miranda.

The things that I gravitate toward in film and TV are things that make me laugh but then break my heart.

There are a lot of people who don't respect what I do.

Miranda's this girl that everyone's just laughed at online for years. I want people to empathize with her.

The thing I needed to learn about Miranda was where her motivation comes from when she gets upset. There's been a few times where Miranda's a brat or crying online, and it seems very surface level, and I think that I needed to learn where her insecurities came from, because online she just comes across as kind of bratty.

I watched a lot of old movies, and a lot of Carol Burnett and Andy Kaufman.

My favorite movies were 'Singin' in the Rain' and stuff that had a more classic comedy type feel, that more slapsticky stuff. It's the comedy I've gravitated towards.

It's been hard being on the Internet and not being respected by people in Hollywood.

A lot of people think most YouTubers are just untalented kids who film themselves for four minutes, and that's all they do for their week.

The process of getting into Miranda mode is simply making sure I'm as gross as possible. I make sure I'm wearing funky clothes and a lot of lipstick, and I'm good to go.

Miranda was built by her haters.

How it works: it's like I have a tour, so there's, you know, some income from that. We have merchandise. There's income from that. Then on YouTube, there's ad revenue... so, you know, YouTube puts ads on the videos, and we need a little bit of that.

I have always wanted to tell Miranda's backstory. To me, it's so fascinating that as a YouTuber, everyone knows what we show them. No one knows what goes on when the cameras are off. I always thought, what would Miranda do in her time off?

When Miranda first started becoming popular, not many people knew who she was. People were confused by her. They thought she was a real person. I got a lot of interesting responses.

I've always done YouTube myself: everything is written, edited, produced, and promoted by myself.

I always admired Netflix's business model; they are really good at what they do.

I share more than most people probably do online.

I chose to share my life online, so I can't really complain about it. There's not much that's off limits.

Life isn't always wonderful.

I think we all have a little crazy in us.

My fans are my family. I love them so much.

I've always been very open and very honest with my fans. I want them to know that I'm genuine, and I am who I am, and I'm not faking it for the camera.

Miranda is confidently untalented at singing. Very off-putting. Shrill. But she thinks she's wonderful, so power to her.

In the beginning, people watched me to hate on me. They thought Miranda was a real person. People just couldn't understand why this strange girl was so confident. And then slowly, I started getting fans.

As much as I love L.A., I don't want to live in L.A. I feel very congested when I'm in the city.

Even before I was in New York, I couldn't even count how many places I lived in L.A. Definitely over 10.

Miranda's my character; I created her! But there's a lot of comedy I want to bring to the world that isn't just Miranda.

I've seen every episode of 'Seinfeld.'

I want to tell Miranda's story more broadly than what I have been in these five-minute videos on the Internet. She can live in a longer format.
