The first videos I uploaded on my own personal channel were videos of dogs.
When we were first approached with the idea to do videos, we said why not. We used the things that we do in our lives in the videos.
Late night chaining of videos and basically obsessing are rare for me, and often I've never even seen the videos of my favourite songs. That said, in terms of my own personal magic, video has probably rated lower than most music fans.
I was very pleased to find that once I had records out music videos were starting to happen, so I directed some of my own music videos and got to experiment in other areas of expression.
I started doing videos in high school with my friends. I was very popular. I did my own kind of little reality show - mainly, my videos were about beauty and very gossipy in nature.
My friend Phil Morrison directed a lot of my favorite videos back in the mid- to late-90s - all the Yo La Tengo videos that were funny, a Juliana Hatfield video. He was such an influence with me, and I wanted to do a video the way Phil used to do videos. I did that for Phil.
When I make my own videos, I am the writer, the editor, the lighting person, everything - that's why my videos are blurry.
I've seen that so many people have made and uploaded videos with my song, 'Bubble Pop.' I was inspired because many of them were even better than me.
Some people draw a line between music videos and short films, looking down on music videos as a format, but there's so much potential in music videos.
Baking has always been one of my many hobbies. After I uploaded my first baking tutorial video, I got a really positive response from the online community, and they started to demand more videos like that.
With my YouTube videos, I used to edit a lot of my own videos, so I've gotten used to seeing myself on camera.
My friends and I often film videos when we get together and hang out, and they're usually just silly situational videos just for our own amusement.
One of the most positive takeaways I've had from 'SNL' is when we'd make videos back in the day: we'd just write material as we were inspired, and so, in a given year, we'd only put out two or three videos.
My two favorite parts of what I do are definitely writing the music and then writing and directing the videos to support each song. As well as doing my own makeup and styling for the videos.
The videos have given us a younger audience. You know, our audience grew up with us until the videos, and they were beginning to get a little long in the tooth. Then the videos came along, and now we've recaptured the 16-year-old girls. The 16-year-old girls!
I can't stress to you enough how much I can relate to teens being cyberbullied. Something that helps me is looking at old videos of me and my friends from middle school, or videos of my family. I love watching funny videos of my favorite people - it really cheers me up.
I started out as musician and recording artist but quite soon started to do my own videos. One thing led to another, and soon I was making videos for a living.
