Pastoral Resources

The tastes of country music fans are not limited to the narrow range defined by consultants and programmers and record company moguls.

Any entertainer who tells you that the adoration of fans is not a heady experience probably never had the experience.

Fans are what make a performer and I've always taken them seriously.

Fans will praise you, scold you, and offer helpful advice. Fans will also defend you.

The attraction, and my particular participation is in being able to communicate with my fans, answer their questions, get a feel for how they respond to Vader.

Joan was one of my biggest fans, as was Chrissie Hynde.

Fans are really important for me. And if they take pains to write me, it's the minimum that I answer myself.

The fans know that I have been giving it my all and that we had the good judgment to when to say when.

I think my fans will follow me into our combined old age. Real musicians and real fans stay together for a long, long time.

When I first came out with my fans and the wind hit me, I almost took off.

We need to win something for the fans because they have been patient and very understanding and we owe them.

Brooklyn was the most wonderful city a man could play in, and the fans there were the most loyal there were.

It's a unique situation as well because England is a small country, so it makes it easy for the fans to travel. If we play down in London, they get buses and we'll get three or four thousand fans come down. They'll all sit in the same area and show their support for the team.

I think we have a good team, but soccer fans will know that we're in a really tough group. The three teams in our group are really strong. The Czech Republic is a very good team, Italy is traditionally a powerhouse, and Ghana is one of the best teams in Africa.

I hear good things about Xbox Live from some of my younger teammates. I think it would be fun to be able to challenge fans all over the world. It would be cool to be able to play some of my friends back home in the States. I'm looking forward to trying it.

When I meet thousands of fans of the comic - when I realize every one of them can recite the Lantern Corps oath ('In Brightest Day, in blackest night...') - I know how important this is to people.

Being on Ozzfest has been a great way for us to break out and show metal fans that we have a heavy side.

I'm very grateful because my fans are very loyal.

The Internet's been so great, and it's so nice to have fans do nice, elaborate websites, but I think the downside is some of the things... for real fans to go on and see that 90 percent of the information isn't true or to see pictures that aren't really me.

You know, that kind of coldness, you know. And I think, yeah, I think that definitely helped. The female characters on the show, you can see some of them wanting to know what makes him tick. And I guess that translates into some of the fans outside. You know?
