‘TableTop’ is packed with gaming celebrities and independent game creators. This is a huge subculture that really doesn’t have a vehicle to rally around or educate people with. – Felicia Day
My dad was in the military, yeah. He was in the Air Force, and he was a doctor, so he would go places for six months here, and two years there. And I was home-schooled because I played the violin, and I did a lot of competitions. – Felicia Day
I still do commercial work as an actor, which I love, because it’s very quick, and it definitely pays my bills. – Felicia Day
For the vlogging channel, I wanted to build the infrastructure and build up all the personalities in a way that felt like weren’t just forcing the audience to watch everyone we have. – Felicia Day
I actually did go through severe depression and anxiety attacks where I couldn’t sleep for weeks. It was definitely several months of being not myself. – Felicia Day
The substance of what it means to be a geek is essentially someone who’s brave enough to love something against judgment. The heart of being a geek is a little bit of rejection. – Felicia Day
I think Hollywood has seen what fandom can do for a project. You can definitely see that when you go to Comic-con. – Felicia Day
I think the more web video there is, the more press you’ll get, as well as all the people who want to tell stories that haven’t been told before but can’t do that on TV because different stories are a risk. – Felicia Day
Now that we’ve transitioned to more Smart TVs, where people are broadcasting their cable box, I hope that Geek & Sundry is something that people will click on in the future, knowing that they’re going to get content that they love. – Felicia Day
I feel like maybe I’m part of that generation that became more of a gamer than a video consumer. It’s always been something I’ve done with my spare time. If I had three hours on a Friday night, I’m not out partying. I’m probably playing video games. – Felicia Day
I was a huge fan of video games; I wanted to write something, and I saw the tools at my fingertips to upload a video to my audience, and that’s why I’m here today. I think that freedom and the lack of gatekeepers, combined with people’s passion, is what really the true spirit of Internet geekdom is about. – Felicia Day
At no point am I ever threatened by people who question who I am, or why I like the things I do, or my legitimacy. Because I know who I am very strongly, and I think that’s what geek culture can reinforce. – Felicia Day
I learned that lack of budget can be overcome by fan passion if you can get your content to the people who like what you do. – Felicia Day
I came from a dance background, so that’s what I did my whole teenage years. I was at the dance studio a lot. It just becomes your social scene and part of your life. – Felicia Day
Just because you have star power and a huge marketing budget, you can see from some professional web series, it doesn’t equal views. – Felicia Day
I don’t appeal to everyone well. I appeal to fewer people in a much stronger way. That’s what fandom is to me, and what creates fans for everything I make. – Felicia Day
I created ‘The Guild’ because nobody was offering me the roles I thought I could do best at in Hollywood. – Felicia Day
I’ve read every single fantasy novel there is. I mean, I would challenge a lot of people to read more fantasy novels than I have. – Felicia Day
Nobody sets out to break new ground. I think change comes when people have no other choice. – Felicia Day
Voice acting is very different from live-action. You only have one tool to convey emotion. You can’t sell a line with a look. It’s all about your vocal instrument. – Felicia Day
Social media is an amazing tool, but it’s really the face-to-face interaction that makes a long-term impact. – Felicia Day
I’m very persistent; I know the Internet very well, because I grew up on the Internet. I had Internet when there was just dial-up, and the Internet was my social outlet. – Felicia Day
I’m super excited about gaming always. That’s the thing that I geek out over; those are the vlogs that I’m surfing if I’m not already playing a game at night. – Felicia Day
People don’t appreciate that when you’re on the Internet, it’s a 24/7 job. Even if you’re not releasing episodes, your show is living and breathing on the Internet because there’s a community around it. Ninety percent of the work is after the web series is shot, and you have to constantly maintain your community, because it’s all you have. – Felicia Day
I guess I just always had this idea that I would go to Hollywood. I had the typical ‘get up and go’ attitude that you have to have in order to make the brave step into the big city. – Felicia Day
I think every role is always exciting and intimidating. I’ve never had a role where I wasn’t intimidated by it. – Felicia Day
