I enjoy talking to fans.

If fans come up to me, I talk to them.

Now I've even gotten to running out to the fan buses that pass by our house, so I can talk to the people. I think I'm trying to gather fans, frankly. They're very, very nice people - they really understand. It's fun talking to them.

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

I've always felt from everyone I talk to that the fans feel like I'm tangible and they can talk to me and they know me.

It's not my job to get really personal in how I express myself. I've met fans, and they've been lovely. But letting my personal life out there, I don't think is a good idea for me. I think the more you do that, the more you can be accused of encouraging that kind of attention.

I enjoy being out with the fans, I enjoy talking baseball, but to get up and tell my life story... I'm not comfortable doing that.

After I built up a following on Instagram, I realized it's a good way to talk to your fans. I always try to keep the conversation going - they're really happy when that happens.

I can't lie - I love talking to the people at my shows. I'm so grateful to all my fans. I couldn't do it for this long without them. So if they want to come past to say hi and whatnot, then it's part of my job to talk to them - and you know, it might be the best part of my job, too.
