I was super doubting myself and if I was even cut out to live this life, but then the fans came to my rescue. And I think we all have those moments, but every failure is necessary, especially in the entertainment industry.

I never was taught how to go into a meeting and talk about a tour and how to plan a show, but seeing that side of things [about] someone who wants to be a Unicorn but has to now be a boss and navigate this is a really powerful and interesting story.

I feel like you have to use your energy, you have to use your resources to help those who don't have a voice. Whereas back in the day, you could say, I didn't know about this. What was I supposed to do? One person can't make a difference. No, like, none of that's valid. You can make a difference, and you do have a voice.

The best way to battle fear is with courage. You have to look at the opposite of fear: Fear is scared of courage.

Everyone finds their voice at different times in their life.

I'm a super spiritual person, so every now and then I'll say, Everyone, get out of my room because I need 15 minutes by myself to just sit alone. I have a chapter in my book [How to Be a Bawse] called Pause, and basically, the idea is one of the ways to be successful is to reflect back on your successes and everything you've achieved.

I found my voice when I started doing YouTube videos, and that's when I was pretty old, to be honest. I think it's about exploration. I think it's about trying new things, meeting new people, and also, it's about borrowing inspiration from other people. Because I still have those moments where I'm like, Oh my God, I'm a loser, what am I doing?

I would never say, I'm going to do these things in a video to be a role model so people make me a role model. I want to be myself.

This idea of having back-up plans is ingrained into us to make us believe that that's the smart thing to do.

I think the best way I could ever fight racism is just being as successful as possible.

As a digital creator, there's been so much pressure to write a book because so many of my peers have done it. I've been very adamant about saying, No! I don't want to release a book just for the sake of writing a book. I'm going to write a book when I feel like I have something to say in a book.

If I could give advice to anyone, it would be that sometimes the best way you can fight a problem - and this is going to be a little bit controversial - is to not address it.

I never want to position myself where I seem like an ambassador of anti-racism. I am fortunate enough to say that I've never experienced extreme amounts of racism, but a lot of my friends do.

There is no shame in falling down but there is pride in getting back up.

I reflect back on my mom's journey, someone who was an immigrant to Canada and came not knowing anything and figured it out tremendously. I reflect back on that a lot.

I think, especially in this time in the world, there is very much a choice between fear and courage, and we all have to pick the courageous route.

I got into psychology simply because that's what my sister did, and I grew up in a family that was very like, follow your sister's footsteps. I went to the same school she went to, did the same degree she did ... really had no interest in it, to be honest.

Fighting for happiness is the hardest thing you'll ever fight for, but it's the only thing worth fighting for.
