Shane Dawson

“I can honestly say that I am open to love in any way. I guess that makes me bisexual.”

“Christina Grimie was one of my favorite people, not only because she was caring, she was humble, and she always felt like people mattered... but because the first thing she said when she met me was, 'Oh em gee - your videos are really gross, but for some reason, I love you.'”

“You don't need to figure out exactly who you are right now. Just live your life.”

“There's nothing creepier to me than a student who hangs out with the teachers.”

“I was not really worried about what people thought of me or how offensive my jokes were. I was just kind of saying whatever I wanted, and that gave me the reputation of being this crazy, loose cannon, you know, psycho guy. It still kind haunts me to this day. Like, 'Oh, Shane Dawson - that guy's nuts.'”

“YouTube has a stigma about only kids watching it. That's true. It is mostly kids and teenagers who watch it. But I've never made videos for teenagers. They should not be watching my videos.”

“I think Jake Paul doesn't know who I am.”

“People who don't know me are going to be surprised by how much I don't take myself seriously.”

“I have spoofed celebrities before, but it's hard for me because I picture them watching it.”

“Love who you want to love. Life is short. Nobody's going to hate you for it.”

“It's fun to be around people who don't think I'm creepy for making videos in my bedroom on the Internet.”

“I started making videos when I was, like, seven or eight.”

“YouTube opened up a lot of doors.”

“Howard Stern is one of my idols.”

“The biggest thing I learned is directors don't make a lot of money on a movie.”

“It sounds super cliche, but staying true to yourself and what you are works.”

“There are a lot of coming out videos of people who are gay or lesbian, and they're so confident. But it made me cry because I'm not that. I don't know who I am 100 percent.”

“Make the videos that you want to watch. Don't think about who is going to be upset or offended.”

“I kind of made the decision early on to be extremely open about everything and just pretend like all of these people watching were my close friends that I could tell stuff to and be honest with.”

“Not everybody is either gay or straight.”
