BEST MOMENTS
"I stream 24/7. I don't have a day off. That's my commitment. I have to work holidays, so I'll go on holiday and I'll be live streaming three times while I'm on holiday."
"You're part of people's lives as a YouTuber. They rely on you so much. Like if I said to my subscribers, I'm going to miss this evening stream. Then we got it. That'd be absolutely, that'd be devastating."
"TV is dead. TV is dead. Like no one watches it, I can't remember the last time I actually put BBC one on apart from the Euros."
"If you know the space and you know how to manipulate it and you know how to work it, it's incredibly lucrative."
"Be original. Be you. Be original. Don't change. Don't follow. Take the tips, but be you."
"You can't polish a turd. You can have all the bright lights, the best cameras, best editor in the world, but if you're not comfortable and you're not confident in yourself and what you're doing. It ain't going to work."
