Quotes from Shane Dawson

I know what I do for a living is ridiculous.

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

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

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

I've been wanting to do some type of video about the idea that YouTubers have to have some kind of personality disorder, something right, to do what we do. Putting ourselves on camera all the time, being so open on camera all the time, having conventions with our name in it. There has to be something.

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.

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

I hate when people cheat.

I used to spend $25,000 of my own money on my short films, and I wouldn't make that back, not even close. So I think the Vimeo thing, because it's pay to download, that helps

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

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

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

Youll never know where life is gonna take you. Youll never know where your life is gonna go. But youll never be able to find out if you end it.

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.

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

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

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 have kind of a thick skin.

I'm not really gay, and I can't sit here and say that I am, because that's not real and that's not genuine. But I also can't sit here and say that I'm straight. This is something I've come to the conclusion through therapy and from being honest with myself. I am bisexual.

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

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

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.'

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 love interviewing people and getting them to talk about things they've never talk about.
