Famous quotes by Markiplier

“I’m afraid they’ll think YouTubers are only these dancing monkeys that don’t take things seriously. There’s a huge group of YouTubers that take things extremely seriously and try to approach things with the utmost professionalism.” – Markiplier

“If you’re even a little bit different than what is considered the norm, then you’re an oddball.” – Markiplier

“Nobody going into YouTube at that time could have ever anticipated they were going to make a living off of it. Now there’s an expectation that if you work hard enough you can make it, but it’s not true. Some people will work hard all their lives and they will not make it. That’s the reality of the world that we live in.” – Markiplier
