Fans are really important for me. And if they take pains to write me, it's the minimum that I answer myself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You can't go wrong with reading the fans and letting them tell you who they like. I think that's really paid off for me in the long run - being down to earth and just really cool with each and every fan that I meet - and they've really supported me through thick and thin.
You want your fans to like what you do, because it's coming from your heart and soul. You write it, you produce this thing. It's like your baby.
It's extremely important to have a loyal fan base and be receptive to them.
You need fans in high places, I always tell people. I don't care how talented you are.
I love my fans, and I try to keep in touch with them as much as I can.
I love my fans and have devoted my life to reaching out to them.
My fans are so important to me, and I would never want to disappoint them.
I like people in general, which is why it's fun for me to interact with my fans.
Fan mail is one thing, but fans you meet in person are a different matter entirely.
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.
