YouTube was really good for building a kind of core, loyal fanbase. I didn't want to be a YouTube artist as such.

Phoebe Tonkin

I enjoy staying home with friends more than going out. The other night, for example, my girlfriends and I stayed in listening to some '90s rap - my favorite kind. We were in the Hamptons and made it an all-Biggie weekend, all of his albums on repeat. I loved it.
