Quotes from Colleen Ballinger

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

Nobody knows what goes on behind the scenes with a YouTuber.

As a vocal performance major, I went to school with a lot of singers who were cocky and not very nice.

I love and enjoy vocal performance, but I also have a huge passion for comedy and improv.

I've seen every episode of 'Seinfeld.'

The fact that I went from making a minute-and-a-half video in my bedroom to doing an hour-and-a-half live show is just crazy.

My brain is a pretty intense, wacky place, and that's kind of where Miranda lives. But that's why I like the rest of my life and my stuff to be more clean, white, and simple without a lot of clutter.

I think for me, the best comedy comes from when something feels real and genuine, so even though Miranda is this wacky character, there is a real vulnerability to her that we finally get to show in 'Haters Back Off,' and I think that's what makes this comedy rich and more fulfilling, at least for me.

To have the ability to look back on the problems that weren't big problems after all is something I think we can all learn from.

I have a lot of photos of my grandparents - they're my heroes, even though they've passed away. They were always happy, positive, loving to everyone they met, and a huge inspiration to me and the reason I do what I do.

I've spent 10 years checking my analytics on my end to see what people were talking about and what they like.

When I was in college and reading music and doing ear training, I was a little more advanced than the other people in my choir classes. So to entertain myself and kind of annoy the friends around me, I would sing just under the pitch or just above the pitch.

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

I couldn't comprehend why someone would film themselves alone in their bedroom and put it online. I thought that was so bizarre. Now I can't imagine not putting my life online and talking to a camera alone in my bedroom; it's become my life.

My fans have been so sweet and supportive.

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

I really tried to take advantage of my 15 minutes of fame. And I've gotten lucky - those 15 minutes have become several years.

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?

I'm always so terrified that tomorrow no one will watch me anymore or care anymore. Every day, I say that I can't believe this is happening. It's so crazy. Because of that, it makes me work so hard every single day.

I travel a lot for work and have people waiting outside my hotel or call my room constantly or show up at whatever restaurant I'm eating at because I Snapchatted. It is a little terrifying.

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.

Fans like to give me things they think Miranda would like.

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 feel so lucky to have the career that I have. I can travel the world and be a goofball and make people laugh.
