“Drift racing is expensive.”

“Views online is a real weird and sticky subject. One view on a 30-second piece of content is not equivalent to one view on a 30 minute video. In my mind it's not quite the same thing.”

“When we started doing YouTube, the goal was, hey, let's make stuff that we want to see, that entertains us.”

“We are not frou-frou creative types. We have done both sides of the business and are constantly asking ourselves, 'How are we going to pay for this?' But the criteria is that it must fit with our world.”

“When we started out doing YouTube videos, I think we were very, very early on in terms of people doing a behind-the-scenes component.”

“Non-studio entities can experiment with storytelling that might be too niche... for a studio.”

“You have to figure out some way of making money without relying on video ads or people paying to download.”

“There's a lot of history here. In terms of Asians in this country, you have a big influx after the Cultural Revolution, a big influx after the Korean War, a big influx after the Vietnam War.”

“We believe that the future for content-creators such as ourselves lies in being able to source project money from an audience and deliver on those projects in a timely and cost-effective manner.”

“I don't think a lot of people really know what goes into something that they see.”

“As you reach more people, there is a potential to make a living with what you are creating, and that's the goal.”

“From a creative perspective, we've been very fortunate in that doing it the 'VGHS' way gave us unlimited freedom. Whatever we wanted to do, however we wanted to do it, we had that.”

“In general, a lot of content creators find that their success is unable to support any sort of organization of scale. It's pretty difficult to support even three or four employees.”

“We were looking for representation that was creatively and commercially in synch with our core DNA. The team at WME understands where we're going, and we're looking forward to taking our company to the next level with them by our side.”

“We firmly believe the future of television is online, and Hulu has recognized the value of quality long-form series.”

“Film gives us the luxury of deciding where the viewpoint of the audience is, and by knowing that, we can very effectively design around what is actually seen on camera.”
