It is just completely disgraceful that someone can go to the extent of morphing my face onto someone else's body to create a sensational video.

When you see yourself on video, you and your friends spending time on vacation, and they take a video, and then you see it, it's really disturbing.

I am surprised by how not-adopted the video reply has been. What keeps other people from doing it, I think, is that they think a video comes across as 'I'm cool, look at how many e-mails I get.' That perception doesn't scare me, because I know who I am.

When you are trying to express things with metaphors and much more subtlety, that's when you are doing yourself a disservice by making a video.

Real life is often sloppy, tragic, ugly, embarrassing, unglamorous, and not made for TV.

The thing that has always struck me is that there has always been a bit of a hole at YouTube when it comes to authenticity, human emotion, fun and play.

Every milieu has something ridiculous about it - film-making, the music world, painting - because people who take themselves seriously become funny pretty quickly.

What you don't see are the cameras shoved in my face and the bizarre intrusive questions being asked, or the people falling over themselves, screaming and taunting to get a reaction.

Watching yourself on screen is always a little weird, but I didn't cringe when I saw myself on 'The Hour.' It actually exceeded my expectations; every shot looks like a vintage postcard and even my most brutally honest friends have said they think it's good.

Personally, I like films that make me a little bit uncomfortable because I think you're uncomfortable when something is real.
