The world goes on, you go on and you change. You want to show the fans those changes, and you want to be able to verbalize them.

At the same time, I definitely want to expand my fan base but not at the expense of prostituting my music or heart.

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.

My fan base is really expanding into an inter-generational thing - it's what every artist probably hopes for.

We want to create content that our fans will like but at the same time stretches us creatively, with our own little touch.

I have had fans make me the big picture collages of the photo books; I have had fans send me birthday cakes... sing to me on my voicemail. I have had fans flash me. I have had older fans give me their bras and underwear onstage.

I think some fans want everything to stay they same because they want to stay the same.

I want to go and see things as a fan again. I am a fan, but I can't remember what it feels like to be a fan anymore. Because I've become an artist. I've become the artist.

I'm very touchy feely with my fandom, in part because they've never done me wrong or hurt me in any way. This is an awesome balance. I hope it stays that way forever.

I got to feel like what I'm giving the fans is 100 percent and that it's game-changing.
