The thing about the wacky fans is that they're really sweet.
Oh, I think, watching Magic, him being one of my... I'm one of his biggest fans, and just trying to emulate what he did, going out on the playground, and also playing with older guys.
I arrived in Hollywood and lived much of my life in America, but the fans did not really know me.
I just hope that our fans are people who are inspired by music, and just use our music as a background or inspiration for whatever it is they do.
So I think the fans will be totally interested in the new developments and delighted that the old developments are still there and that they can still see some of the old characters maybe reappear.
I have always loved the process of making the music, reading the letters from the fans who get married to my music, have children to my music and play my music at their funerals.
I have a very deep and wide relationship with my fans.
I don't take my fans' love and dedication for granted.
There's a place for all types of country music as long as there is honesty and realness and a real human experience for the fans.
The love of these people and of my fans mean more than any award or special accomplishment.
Some Kentucky fans are a little more subdued.
I always think I'm the Tom Cruise of music - a lot of success and fans, but no critics, darling.
Country fans need to support country music by buying albums and concert tickets for traditional artists or the music will just fade away. And that would be really sad.
They want to know I'm doing good, the fans do.
Over the last couple of years I have gotten an average of 2,000 letters a week from fans.
