Quotes from Manny MUA

I want to act. That'd be so much fun.

I think that the social media space is great because that's where my bread and butter is, but I want to jump into doing traditional media and other fun things.

Honestly I believe that men can wear makeup, teach makeup, and vlog about it just as much as girls can, and I am fighting for that equality with my channel.

Don't let anyone stop you from doing what you are doing, from your dreams and what you want to do.

I want people to see that you don't need to rely on other people to make your dreams happen: you have to grab them yourself.

Everyone grows at their own pace, and you shouldn't compare yourself to anyone.

I'm a beauty person on YouTube, and I'm very, very, very hyper-aware of things, and I like to dive into products and just really go in and hone in on products - whether I think they're worth the money or not.

Brands started approaching me once I had 800,000 YouTube subscribers. Some girls were getting offers with only 300,000.

I decided to start my channel because my followers on Instagram told me that they wanted to learn how I did the looks I was wearing! So I started YouTube for my Mannyacs, and the rest is history!

I'm a YouTuber; I want to share my information. I want to share my tips and tricks and hacks and everything I possibly can with my audience because they've done so much for me.

The time I felt most beautiful was probably when I was in college, and I was starting to accept who I was as a person. I wasn't hiding who I was anymore, and I was like, 'You know what? I'm growing up; I don't have to follow the rules anymore.'

I didn't start wearing makeup until I was in my early 20s, so I never realized that makeup 'wasn't for boys,' as many social norms say.

When I was a young boy, I would watch my mom apply her makeup, so one day, I took a lipstick she had and put it on my mouth, trying to imitate her. It ended up all over my face.

I believe that society needs to be more open and accepting of things that are seen as 'different.'
