The concept of Who Am I is following me around from 2001 to 2005, I filmed high quality videos but never really serviced them to the television so I saved those and I knew that would be an incentive for the fans.
The fans have been great, they've stuck with me through a lot of hit-less years and I think they were as determined as I was that it was time to put an end to the lack of hits.
The fans out in New Zealand are amazing. They're genuinely excited and appreciative that you're playing their country.
Hypnosis. You know, I'm not a big fan of that bark like a chicken, cluck like a dog stuff.
When fans start screaming when they see me it makes my heart smile.
I love music, right? I can't say "I'm only going to listen to a physical medium," because there's a bunch of meaningful records that as a music fan I love that I would've never been able to access. So if I want to be part of something I have to get dragged along with technology.
I listen to all kinds of music, but I've always been a really big fan of Top 40 radio. If I'm in my car, that's what I listen to.
The funny thing is, I'm not really a big reader, not a big fan of books in the first place.
One of my biggest problems is I get bored too easily, and I like to experiment too much, to the point where I confuse myself and I confuse my fans.
Weirdly, I'm not a horror fan.
I couldn't believe when I first got a fan letter from Al Pacino, it was unreal.
When you return to the same area a few times, you get that frequent rapport with the public and the fans of the music along with having a certain warmth when you walk onstage.
He [Andy Warhol] engaged people and I think all of that is what helped keep him keyed in to the times beyond all of the celebrity stuff that was going on around him. He was much more like a fan than a celebrity himself.
It's probably no coincidence with the internet and social media and the word being able to spread beyond the radio, where fans can go and talk and congregate and trade stories and a band could communicate news very quickly and in a worldwide basis. I'm sure that's helped in bringing in this case us to more of the forefront of peoples attention.
My fans and I have that special connection because whenever we talk on Twitter and Facebook we really have that one on one connection and I feel that's important.
Facebook is one way to be able to communicate in a quick way. I never hired a firm to send out pictures and such so I am lame that way. All I can say is how grateful I am for the fans I have.
Pop stardom is not very compelling. I'm much more interested in a relationship between performer and audience that is of equals. I came up through folk music, and there's no pomp and circumstance to the performance. There's no, like, 'I'll be the rock star, you be the adulating fan. '
I don't want every fan; I'm interested in fans interested in quality work, authentic archetype depictions.
I'm an ardent American Football fan.
I'm not a fan of facts. You see, the facts can change, but my opinion will never change, no matter what the facts are.
