Shane Dawson

“For me, it's always fun to have people that do the same thing as you or and have the same work ethic as you. A lot of my friends have YouTube channels, and I use them in my videos, and I'm in their videos.”

“Now I put up something, and I have to think, 'Oh, there are millions of people watching, and some of them could be affected by the jokes I make.'”

“I want to know the psychology of a YouTuber... do you think, to be a YouTuber, you have to have something off?”

“Online, I'm this loud, outrageous, confident guy who acts like nothing bothers him, and he has the whole world at his fingertips. In reality, I'm a shy, quiet guy who would rather spend his nights lying in bed watching Netflix than being a valuable member of society.”

“Anybody could be a sociopath. Anybody.”

“If you go through my Instagram feed, it's like a flip book of me thinking I'm way more attractive than I am. It's nauseating.”

“I think I'm used to competition. YouTube is a daily competition. I'm used to that, and I'm used to hate coming from everywhere on the Internet.”

“I'm just an innocent guy with a dirty mouth, I guess.”

“I would tell high school Shane to just start writing down everything that was happening. It was so hard to think back to all those terrible moments. They all started clustering together into one big terrible moment.”

“Being a comedian, it's hard. People hear 'YouTuber,' and they automatically think, 'a social warrior,' and you have to stand up for all these things.”

“For the record, I don't really hate myself, but I do hate the way I portray myself online.”

“I didn't think I could pull off a novel.”

“I started pitching shows and sold a show, 'Losin It,' about my Jenny Craig days. It never was made. I think it didn't work, partially because I didn't write it.”

“I don't think I'll be doing daily videos forever.”

“I get it, okay? I shouldn't be doing this. I shouldn't be giving Jake Paul a platform.”

“I always wished that I was gay, that I was just 100 percent gay - for so many reasons. No. 1, that means I would know who I was. No. 2, it would be a lot easier for me to be accepted by people because I wear wigs and dresses on the Internet, and I'm feminine and all these things. It'd be so much easier to be just like, 'Yeah, I'm gay.' But I'm not.”

“I'm not saying that I don't like the stuff I put out into the world, because I genuinely enjoy my videos and think they are funny. What I'm saying is that I embrace the fact that I have a punchable face, and that if I could punch myself without feeling it, I would.”

“I'm proud that I don't make crazy jokes anymore.”

“The problems you have as a kid will seem ridiculous when you get older because bigger and worse problems will come along.”

“The one time I'd ever babysat, the kid ran into a glass door and got a concussion.”
