I\u2019m like, \u2018It\u2019s not that deep, man.\u2019 Streamers, they don\u2019t give a sh*t. They\u2019re like, \u2018Yeah I play video games for a living.\u2019 Who gets to do that? It\u2019s weird. It\u2019s bizarre. Streamers are really chill.\u201d \u201cActors are like, \u2018Yeah, my craft is like, really important to me.\u2019 I even had a moment where I was like, \u2018I just wanna do something that matters.\u2019 I\u2019ve seen a few movies that have made me cry and that I related to so hard, but how often do you get to do that? Not that often.\u201d \u201cStreaming, I get to connect with these people, with you guys, every day, and it\u2019s real. And it\u2019s on whatever emotional level I want it to be on at any given moment.\u201d In particular, Van Dien mentioned Disguised Toast, Valkyrae, and Pokimane, all of whom she streams with on a somewhat-regular basis.
