I love every Netflix original series, because they're so creative and different, and they really believe in trusting the creators of these shows and in their vision and passion.

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

I definitely think we're living in a world or generation where we need constant gratification and adoration with Instagram and likes, and we base everything on attention.

Anyone can sing badly, but to sing badly on purpose and make it believable is harder. I listen for the actual melody in my head but sing right underneath or above it out loud. It takes a lot of concentration.

Getting onstage and trying out all of my material and what works well with audiences and what doesn't, what works well in different atmospheres, has been the best training.

People ask me if I'm worried that I'm going to be stuck in Miranda forever. I'm not, because how could I complain about what I've been given?

For me, Miranda has always been a much deeper character than the three-minute videos I put online.

I started out poking fun at this YouTube thing.

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.

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 trained to sing well, but now I sing poorly for a living. That was money well spent.

I've been singing since I was a little girl.

I'm pretty sure I don't want a camera in my face when I am in labor.

People didn't go on YouTube to get famous back when I started.

My fans have been so sweet and supportive.

I'm the luckiest girl in the world.

I have a whole new perspective on pregnancy and motherhood now that I'm experiencing it. Just because it's so hard and so confusing and so exciting. Women are so amazing that their bodies can do this and that they're strong enough to do this. I can't believe almost every woman goes through this, because it's so hard.

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.

Miranda is extremely tacky. I personally want to edit my videos well, but I have to keep Miranda's character in mind, so there are bad angles, flashy cuts, and sparkles everywhere.

Miranda, my character, cannot sing, cannot act, and is really inappropriate.

I have no hard feelings towards Disneyland. I love Disneyland so much. I want to go every day. I loved every single day that I worked there.

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 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.

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

On YouTube, I've stayed very limited with what I've been willing to share, so it's been very surface-level with Miranda.

The things that I gravitate toward in film and TV are things that make me laugh but then break my heart.

There are a lot of people who don't respect what I do.

Miranda's this girl that everyone's just laughed at online for years. I want people to empathize with her.

The thing I needed to learn about Miranda was where her motivation comes from when she gets upset. There's been a few times where Miranda's a brat or crying online, and it seems very surface level, and I think that I needed to learn where her insecurities came from, because online she just comes across as kind of bratty.

I watched a lot of old movies, and a lot of Carol Burnett and Andy Kaufman.

My favorite movies were 'Singin' in the Rain' and stuff that had a more classic comedy type feel, that more slapsticky stuff. It's the comedy I've gravitated towards.

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

A lot of people think most YouTubers are just untalented kids who film themselves for four minutes, and that's all they do for their week.

The process of getting into Miranda mode is simply making sure I'm as gross as possible. I make sure I'm wearing funky clothes and a lot of lipstick, and I'm good to go.

Miranda was built by her haters.

How it works: it's like I have a tour, so there's, you know, some income from that. We have merchandise. There's income from that. Then on YouTube, there's ad revenue... so, you know, YouTube puts ads on the videos, and we need a little bit of that.

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?

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've always done YouTube myself: everything is written, edited, produced, and promoted by myself.

I always admired Netflix's business model; they are really good at what they do.

I share more than most people probably do online.

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

Life isn't always wonderful.

I think we all have a little crazy in us.

My fans are my family. I love them so much.

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.

Miranda is confidently untalented at singing. Very off-putting. Shrill. But she thinks she's wonderful, so power to her.

In the beginning, people watched me to hate on me. They thought Miranda was a real person. People just couldn't understand why this strange girl was so confident. And then slowly, I started getting fans.

As much as I love L.A., I don't want to live in L.A. I feel very congested when I'm in the city.
