Just because you have star power and a huge marketing budget, you can see from some professional web series, it doesn't equal views.

That is not what Geek means to me. We are more than the hobbies that we do or the things that we like. To me, Geek means an outsider, a rebel, a dreamer, a creator, a fighter. It's a person who dares to love something that isn't conventional.

I think the whole definition of a geek is somebody being passionate and focused, and being proud of saying that they're passionate and focused, on a narrow range of subjects.

You don't need millions of dollars or millions of people if you're doing what you love.

Each one of us is finite, and if we can spread ourselves out in a way to inspire and help other people to be all they can be, I think that's so much more important than one person's glory.

I was a child of a tech family. My grandfather was a nuclear physicist and was always a gadget guy.
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
8.
Basically, my socialization as a child didn't come from any schooling; it came from being in theater and meeting people online.
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.

I love sitcoms, and I grew up on sitcoms. That's my tasty junk food.
Felicia Day
11.
I'll be in a series for three or four episodes, but then I'll be off the series, and downtime, as an actor, is a little more than most people understand. Most of the time you're just sitting around taking coffee with friends.

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 thats why Im here today. I think that freedom and the lack of gatekeepers, combined with peoples passion, is what really the true spirit of Internet geekdom is about.
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
14.
I still do commercial work as an actor, which I love, because it's very quick, and it definitely pays my bills.
Felicia Day
15.
I believe you are never past the point of creating opportunities for yourself.

I created 'The Guild' because nobody was offering me the roles I thought I could do best at in Hollywood.
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
18.
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

Surprisingly, I think if you're known on the Internet, you're probably an introvert.

Geek and Sundry has an eclectic line-up of shows all targeted around things I love: Comics, Tabletop Games, Books and more.
Felicia Day
21.
I'm a big champion of people doing things outside the system.
Felicia Day
22.
Social media is an amazing tool, but it's really the face-to-face interaction that makes a long-term impact.
Felicia Day
23.
TV and comics and movies are what you think about when you think about geek, but people can be a geek about anything.
Felicia Day
24.
I'm not a very vengeful person. I like to accept people; I tend to see the good in everybody, so I'm kind of stupid like that.
Felicia Day
25.
My favorite 'Mister Rogers' episodes were always the ones where Mr. Rogers would go into the community.
Felicia Day
26.
I would never let somebody say that they're me. That would be the ultimate betrayal of what I stand for.
Felicia Day
27.
Hollywood typecast me as the secretary. I could have worked as the quirky secretary for the rest of my life, but I decided not to do that.
Felicia Day
28.
My goal in creating Geek & Sundry was to create a community based around web video, and we've accomplished that, especially on our budget.
Felicia Day

That's the great thing about incubating something on the web: you have the potential to go to other platforms. Every single platform has a different audience that you find.

I've played pretty much every single-player RPG there is, has been, ever will be. But as far as the MMOs go, especially with the voice chat, it becomes like hanging out with your friends in a chat channel, and you're playing at the same time. So it becomes a lot more social than people would probably think.
Felicia Day
31.
I'm definitely more of a 'think game' kind of girl. I'll read every single dialogue and codex entry and lore entry. I really do love projecting myself and creating my character.
Felicia Day
32.
Finishing games has been something I'm really proud of, seeing something through to the end.
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. Doing voice work is also great because you don't have to get your hair done, which I despise.
Felicia Day
34.
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
35.
When I carve out time to game, it's because I rationalize that I 'deserve it,' so I relish every minute of that 2-3 hour session.
Felicia Day
36.
I was just confused about why I was feeling overwhelmed all the time and trying to adjust to having people work for me. Surprisingly, I think if you're known on the Internet, you're probably an introvert.
Felicia Day
37.
My goal with every show we put on Geek & Sundry is to make it that big of a success, not just within the video but within fandom itself.
Felicia Day
38.
I'd been on 'Buffy' - that is an amazing community, the Joss Whedon fans.
Felicia Day
39.
I think every role is always exciting and intimidating. I've never had a role where I wasn't intimidated by it.
Felicia Day
40.
I have a little obsessive-compulsive personality. You can tell because I played online games for eight hours a day.
Felicia Day
41.
I could go off into the wilderness and write fantasy novels for the rest of my life and probably be happy; but I always want to challenge myself.
Felicia Day
42.
I always enjoyed acting. My aunt was actually an actress.
Felicia Day
43.
I do not sleep, but it's totally fine, because I love what I do.
Felicia Day
44.
I don't need millions of dollars. I need to know that what I'm doing with my life is expressing who I am, and maybe making people happy. This is all we get.
Felicia Day
45.
Now I understand what exhaustion is. It’s not just a code word for heroin addiction. People don’t teach you how to handle the workload that comes from a little bit of success, and it’s something I’d never had to handle, because I’d been rejected for so long.
Felicia Day
46.
In life they're not going to serve you lemons, they're going to serve you lemonade; and I don't really like lemonade because I've got a really bad acid reflux.
Felicia Day
47.
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
48.
There is definitely a way in which women are raised to be less proactive, less business-oriented, and less willing to jump into creative no man's land. I think media has more of an influence on how we perceive gender identity than anything else.
Felicia Day
49.
'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

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.
