I’m petrified of the future. What happened to me happened so suddenly. I wasn’t aiming for it. I’m scared it’s gonna disappear, I’m scared I’m gonna make the wrong choices. I’m playing in an arena in which I have no experience whatsoever. I’m wary of just being the drunk girl. That’s a big fear. It’s interesting because there is something that is absolutely sacred about it to me, which is that its okay to be silly and free and have these moments. There are unexpected truths, unexpected epiphanies. but I was in meetings with TV people in l.A. and they were like, “We think you should do my drunk laundry machine and my drunk pool fame game31 and my drunk this and be the official drunk girl.” And I remember being like, “No, I’m not interested in that. I’m interested in comedy, I’m interested in truth, I’m interested in relaxation and people letting themselves go and letting their hair down a little because it’s a safe place to do it.”

-Hannah Hart, star and creator of “My Drunk Kitchen” on the precariousness of online fame.
