!Quotes from the Cast & Crew
->''"When I took the job, I braced myself for criticism, expecting many people -- without even watching the show -- to instantly label it girly, stupid, cheap, for babies or an evil corporate commercial. I encourage skeptics like this to watch'' My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic ''with an open mind. If I'm doing my job right, I think you’ll be surprised."''
-->-- '''Creator/LaurenFaust'''
->''"[[Creator/GeneRoddenberry Roddenberry]] warned me that I had no idea what I was getting into with'' Franchise/StarTrek. ''Someone should have warned me about'' My Little Pony! ''Egads!"''

->''"Lyra, Heartstrings, or Incidental Unicorn #2.... When I first started working on the show, I never expected people to latch on to the background ponies like they have. It's nice to see."''

->''"I'm constantly surprised by how many men love MLP, (even [[RealMenWearPink marines]]!) and it proves something I've always believed: that innocence is [in]finite. It's not something that can ever go away despite what a person does or has done.''
->''P.S. Derpy is the pinnacle of the top of the peak for me!"''
-->-- '''Creator/TabithaStGermain''', [[WomanOfAThousandVoices Voice of Rarity and a Thousand Ponies]], in [[http://www.tabithastgermain.com/make-my-day.html response]] to a fan.
->''"When I came into Star Trek with [[Creator/PatrickStewart Patrick]], the Star Trek fan base had already been established.

'''Ask That Guy With the Glasses:''' Well, there's sort of a tragedy to Twilight Sparkle-- she spends all her time studying, but she just wants to be loved, which is a need that doesn't always get fulfilled by the other ponies.

->''What I truly love about MLP:[=FiM=] is the extent of the fanworks. I’ve seen some people say, "I watched a few episodes, but couldn’t get into it." If they only watch the actual show, though, they’re missing out.''
-->--'''[[http://lthemachine.wordpress.com/2011/12/26/my-little-pony-touhou-project-and-a-corporate-doujin-culture/ Blog response]]''' to a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWG0KLSJi8g fan video]]
-> ''Dave Glover, there are several members of the marines who are confirmed bronies. [[BullyingADragon Are you calling a bunch of marines baby men?]]''
-->--'''firewallednonspeaker''', Youtube Commenter in response to Dave Glover's insulting of the bronies.
->''I... actually kinda like this. Don't really care about what's going on, but it has decently timed gags, [[SugarWiki/AwesomeArt fluid motion,]] voice acting that doesn't make me cringe. I'm scared, /co/. Hold me.''
-->--The first brony? From the [[Website/FourChan /co/]] [[http://archive.no-ip.org/co/thread/20460984 thread]] (kinda NSFW) that's regarded as the beginning of the fandom. ([[http://mlponies.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1138 Found here.]])
-> ''And so ends Part 1, with our main protagonist descending into what appears to be the fire depths of Hell itself.''
-> ''[[SarcasmMode Yep. Definitely a show only for little girls.]]''
-->--'''Tropers/K9Thefirst1'', Youtube comment on the end of [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E25ACanterlotWeddingPart1 A Canterlot Wedding, Part 1]]
->''[My Little Pony] has turned humanity into a kinder gentler society. Thank you.''
-->--John De Lancie, during a panel at Bronycon.
->''Even when the fandom and the pony craze die down (as much as some hate to say it, it's unavoidable) such beautiful pieces as'' ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-8oF4FPSQA this]]'' ''will always find a place in the hearts of countless fans. Brony on, my friends, and remember that even when those days come that we may no longer enjoy all things pony-related, the influence it had on us, the change it brought about in so many of our hearts, will never die.''
-->--'''From a random Website/YouTube comment'''
->''We do belong. That's why so many hate us, and so many love us. We are together not because we think we are better than everyone else, but because we love each other BECAUSE we aren't perfect, and because we are different.
->We do belong. It's obvious to me that anyone that thinks we don't is the one who truly doesn't belong.
->We are bronies.''
-->--'''From a random Website/YouTube comment'''
-> *in response to posts about the end of the "Brony" era*
-> Guys...
-> Are you serious?
-> Let's look at some other fandoms.
-> Franchise/StarWars - 35 years
-> Series/DoctorWho - 49 years
-> Creator/DCComics - 75 years
-> This fandom is creating more content [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome than the three combined.]]
-> ''So what in Celestia's name are you talking about?''
--> [[http://cheezburger.com/6735918336 My Little Brony image post.]]
->''I don't want to compare it to ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'', but from where fans can recite every line from every episode, it is very similar.''

-> ''When Twilight said that every pony in this town must be crazy she had no idea. They really should reconsider renaming the show, "My Little Pony: Insanity is Magic." Insane people need friends too, so you can still teach stories about friendship. :D''
--> Random Youtube comment discussing the recurring theme of characters having mental breakdowns on the show.
-> ''What's particularly telling is that those kinds of complaints are always found in either a magazine or a website sharing a page with ads for frivolous crap. Personally I like the message that "[[ThePowerOfFriendship Different kinds of people can still be friends]], [[MerchandiseDriven so please buy our product]]," versus "[[UnfortunateImplications Would you like to look like this emotionally scarred anorexic? Please buy our product]]."''
--> -- Admitted non-Brony Chuck Sonnenburg's defense of the show, from the ''Website/SFDebris'' [[http://sfdebris.com/videos/animation/mlp01.asp review of the pilot]]
-> "At first I was like ಠ_ಠ...then I was like [[MindScrew #_#]]...then I was like [[{{Squee}} ^___^]]!"
--> -- A brony describing the first time he viewed the show.
-> "Dear Princess Celestia, today I learned that while you're not given [[Toys/MilkyWayAndTheGalaxyGirls the opportunity you wanted]], you can still make [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the best out of the situation and result in more than you expected]], like a cartoon that doesn't need vulgar innuendo or random surrealness to [[PeripheryDemographic entertain an older audience]]. Screw [[GirlShowGhetto the social dogma of the intended demographic]]. If this show is for little girls, then I guess that makes me a bitch. And even you're into some strange or sick things, there's always gonna be some weirdos out there equally as messed up as you. Who that'll be may surprise you."\\
Your faithful student, Pan Pizza
