More quotes by Tyler Oakley
I'll be a YouTuber for as long as I love it.
Tyler Oakley
There was no Twitter when I was in high school, so I can't even imagine the pressures or the expectations of pursuing likes or living life in that kind of mentality.
Tyler Oakley
I first discovered YouTube while browsing the web, and then I found people just talking into their cameras. I never even knew it was a thing you could do.
Tyler Oakley
One thing I've learned best from my mom is to be yourself and not everyone will get you and that's okay. I try to bring that into everything that I do and just understand that I will not be everyone's cup of tea and that's fine.
Tyler Oakley
I try to surround myself with a good support system. Whether that's other creators or my family or my friends, or even my viewers, who encourage me just as much as I might encourage them and they're just as much a part of my life as they let me be a part of theirs.
Tyler Oakley
My life and happiness speaks for itself.
Tyler Oakley
I literally cannot even. I can't even. I am unable to even. I have lost my ability to even. I am so unable to even.
Tyler Oakley
Over the last eight years of being on YouTube, I've seen so much progress. I think the reason for that is that a lot of young people are having open dialogue and honest conversations about social justice and human rights.
Tyler Oakley
It feels like an amazing opportunity to positively impact the world. That's what I hope to do.
Tyler Oakley
A big reason I wanted to do a tour was because I'm from Michigan and not many things go to Michigan. Most conventions are in like London or Florida or California, and that's about it.
Tyler Oakley
Everybody on YouTube starts with zero subscribers. You think of everyone you look up to or have watched for years or whatever, they may seem like this is their life now, but it wasn't always that.
Tyler Oakley
I'm one of those YouTubers who doesn't daily-vlog, so my life may seem very open, but my audience only really sees probably 50%. I keep a lot to myself, and I cherish the things that are for me and the people closest to me.
Tyler Oakley
I am a fangirl of talent, so to see someone slaying the competition doing what I'd love to do, that's inspiring to me.
Tyler Oakley
You have to fall in love with yourself first, and if someone wants to join you, more power to them!
Tyler Oakley
How many likes you get on a selfie will not be what you remember 10 years down the line. The relationships that you form and the memories that you make and the connections that you make with people day to day are the things you remember.
Tyler Oakley
I come up with new ambitions all the time - and the coolest thing is, I think of something I want to do, and I don't really imagine it as Oh, I've never done that. I think of it as, Oh, I haven't done that yet. I literally believe I'm going to do everything I set out to do, which is a pretty amazing feeling.
Tyler Oakley
I just try to surround myself with good, positive supportive people who are trying to make the world better.
Tyler Oakley
The Internet is accelerating the speed of acceptance and social justice.
Tyler Oakley
I remember having 100 views on a video and being like, I don't have a hundred friends. So that was a moment.
Tyler Oakley
The type of person that might thrive on Vine in a six-second clip might not be the same kind of entertainer who would shine on a 10-minute vlog on YouTube. If anything, having these different platforms gives more people a chance to creatively express themselves.
