I just make good movies. That's the way I thank my fans.
It's a blessing to have fans acknowledging your craft, period.
It's nice to have fans who want and need our music.
I just wanna make music that people love. If they love the next project that I put out, 'Thank you' because that means that I can take care of my family.
I just want to thank all my fans for their loyalty and support-for coming out to the shows and buying the CDs.
J. Lo is also an homage to my fans. That's what fans call me on the streets, and I like it. So giving the album this title is my way of telling them that this is for them, in appreciation of their support.
Now my fans are older and they understand how to appreciate me the same way I appreciate them for being there for me.
It's always important to stay in contact with the fans, because ultimately, if they weren't there, I wouldn't be here. It's very, very important to spread the love.
It's nice when people say, 'God, I've been listening to you since 1963 or 1985, or whatever.' I appreciate anybody who goes out and buys music these days.
Radio has had my back since 'Missin' You Crazy,' which was a very traditional kind of song.
Just to know that someone who's 15 years old is listening to my music and the work that I've done - it's definitely a blessing.
Country music fans are the best everywhere and they've always made me feel like I'm at home, no matter what zip code I'm in. I just want to thank them from the bottom of my heart for blessing me with such an incredible career that I truly enjoy.
Last I checked, the album was #82 out of the top 200 on the Billboard charts thanks to you all. I pray that keeps moving up and with your help it will.
I'm always flattered and honored when people cover my music or sing my songs, no matter where it is.
I want people to know that I appreciate every piece of music they buy and every concert ticket because that's what keeps this going. Knowing that people are coming to the shows and enjoying my music makes every long day worth it.
I think I've been able to connect with people and their emotions through my songs. I feel honoured that despite having so many talented singers around, my work is always appreciated.
Most of my fans are young; they pay for their own tickets and work really hard to be able to come, and so I want to give all of them the best show.
I do pinch myself, like when shows in non-English speaking countries are sold out, and people are singing my lyrics. I don't think I'll ever lose that; I'm always appreciative every day of the support I have as an artist, because I'm not a commercial artist.
No one's ever done one of my songs badly. People say to me, "God, so-and-so wrecked that song." Well, I'm unaware of it. Anybody doing one of my tunes has earned my gratitude, and I don't get that many covers where I have the luxury to choose.
I know that the fans are also very responsible for an artist's success and feel like they deserve to be recognized.
I've always been incredibly crazy about the fact that I'd have any fans at all. It says to me that the characters that I choose are interesting to people and that's thrilling to me. It really is.
People have been so supportive of this career for so long, and they are still enjoying the music that I bring to them.
How lucky am I? I'll go to Naperville and people will come up to me and thank me for coming to Naperville. That's how much music means to people.
I can honestly tell you, if it wasn't for our fans, there would not be Avenged Sevenfold right now.
I won't complain about touring, because I really do believe that a public-figure musician complaining about being a public-figure musician is just absurd. Like, 'Boo hoo hoo! I have to stand on stage and people pay attention to me!'
