“I kind of regret showing my face on the internet,
but at the same time.
I really like that I could bring my characters like Jack Serious to life
and old JKTV footage on YouTube.”
JKTV:
“If I had advice; about using the Internet to anyone,
who's kind of new or they're teenagers and they're young
and it's haven't shown their face yet.”
“Don't show your face on the Internet.
If possible not your legal name.
Not too much personal information.
Cuz things go viral and you just don't know
and it could ruin your life or somebody else's life.”
“There are a lot of ways people
can take advantage of you on the net.”

(3) - What makes you happy:
“More anything, what's made me happy is throughout my life is connecting to others.”
“Life is about learning things,
not know them right away.”

and be more like a screwdriver.”
“Take it at your own pace, it's not a race.”
