I have sort of the career where, if you are a fan, you've been following me for a while, and you really like something that I've done, so meeting those people is always a really gracious experience.

I've met some incredible people who I really admire.

When you meet people, show real appreciation, then genuine curiosity.

When people connect to my work, it makes me feel great. A lot of that stuff is really deep, and when I play something and people feel what I feel, and use it in important situations in their lives, like at weddings or funerals, that's so powerful. It means I can connect with them on an important level.

I've had fans do some pretty awesome things... I once had a fan do a mock proposal for me in Mumbai, inside a McDonalds... and I've had fans give me some precious things. I had one fan give me her mother's ring; I've gotten some pretty intense stuff. And I always get drawings and scrapbooks from fans, which is also pretty cool.

I love meeting interesting people and doing things with them.

I love being recognized. I love talking with - can I say 'fans'?

Now that I have conquered social anxiety disorder, I find pleasure in fans approaching me.

I love it when people travel to see one of my works, and I always make time to meet and talk with them.

I love my fans, so when I get the chance to interact with them, it's beautiful.
