I like people in general, which is why it's fun for me to interact with my fans.

No matter what people say, your fans are the ones that come to watch the movie or come to your shows and that's the most important thing.

I've always been incredibly crazy about the fact that I'd have any fans at all. It says to me that the characters that I choose are interesting to people and that's thrilling to me. It really is.

The most interesting characters keep us hooked. Not likeable ones! Iago, Shylock, Darth Vader - are they likeable? Do you want to invite them to dinner?

As far as engaging with fans... it's a tricky thing. I enjoy seeing the feedback on Twitter, etc. It's probably the actor in me.

I love my fans and have devoted my life to reaching out to them.

I think the moment you start trying to please a fan base is when you start going downhill. I'm going to always, always write about what I want, even if it doesn't necessarily cater to most of them.

I really like to communicate to my fans. I have a fan club president who I've had for over 15 years.

I think my biggest appeal for fans is probably the fact that I'm honest. I'm up front about who I am. I'm a little naughty. I have a naughty side and everybody knows that. But I know when to use that and when not to.

I welcome every chance I get to interact with fans. I've made some very close friendships amongst fans, and I look forward to seeing them.
