People do dismiss ambient music, don’t they? They call it ‚easy listening,‘ as if to suggest that it should be hard to listen to.
Brian EnoIt’s an honor for me to represent urban music, reggaeton, trap and hip-hop.
Bad BunnyI just make good movies. That’s the way I thank my fans.
Jackie ChanAt the start of the season, there are 16 teams in the top division looking behind them, making sure they avoid relegation. The fear starts in the boardroom, comes down to managers and through to players. The fans sense it.
George BestI hope the fans have enjoyed listening as much as I’ve enjoyed doing the games. I don’t ever go to the park where I don’t have a good day. I don’t like losing. But I don’t think I ever go to the park where I have a bad day. I don’t think once.
Bob UeckerEverything I’ve been thinking, every vision, even down to every shot I throw, it just ends up here in reality. Whether it was in a fight and how to react or whether it was in a stadium with screaming fans or whether I was in a fancy car or the best clothes ever, I always put myself somewhere.
Conor McGregorI was a super-duper Tupac fan, and I realized later, when I became a huge Nas fan and a huge Eminem fan, I was drawn to the storytellers. They all told stories in different ways, but they were all like the best storytellers.
J. ColeEvery time I come to Europe, I’m just as excited as I was my very first time, which was many, many years ago. I love that part of the world, and I especially love the fans.
Dolly PartonI want my fans to love themselves. It’s almost like I want to hypnotize them so when they hear my music they love themselves instantly.
Lady GagaI feel connected to my generation through the music, but I also fear for us. We’re in a very self-destructive state where we’re addicted to outside opinions and we all feel like we have fans.
DrakeAt the end of the day, your fans are the people who support you in and out. And their opinions matter.
Kevin HartWhen you’re a pop star, it’s a little conservative; you always have to stay in a box. You have fans that are five and fans that are 65; there are so many people wanting so many things.
Beyonce KnowlesI think I have the nicest fans in the world, and I quite like being surrounded by people if we’re all feeling the same emotion in the same room.
AuroraI was always singing but didn’t plan on pursuing it seriously. When I got to New York City when I was 18, I started playing in clubs in Brooklyn – I have good friends and devoted fans on the underground scene, but we were playing for each other at that point – and that was it.
Lana Del ReyI would say that I’m more moved by melody, even though I love to rap.
DrakeCleveland fans are awesome.
LeBron JamesWhat good are fans? You can’t eat applause for breakfast. You can’t sleep with it.
Bob DylanThe racing is quite boring, sometimes. It’s hard to see how it pulls in fans.
Lando NorrisThanks to my fans that have been with me from the beginning, I was able to sell out arenas on my own.
The WeekndI’ve always loved the fans in Scotland and have a little Scottish blood of my own.
Dolly PartonThe instrument that I never learned how to play was my fans. You know, they are the part of the story that nobody teaches you. I just want to do the right thing; I want to be a voice with them, among them.
Lady GagaYou pick up some fans and a handful of haters along the way.
Bruno MarsI don’t take pictures when I’m with my kids, for the sake of my kids. It’s important when you’re as busy as I am that you give your kids your time when you’re with them, and nothing compromises that. I’ve been lucky enough to have fans that understand that.
Kevin HartIt’s been wonderful for me, and I feel so privileged to have fans that are that loyal.
Jimmy BuffettEvery single one of the guys that I’ve written songs about has been tracked down on MySpace by my fans.
Taylor SwiftI don’t even call them fans. I don’t like that. They’re literally just a part of my life; they’re a part of my family. I don’t think of them as on a lower level than me. I don’t think I’m anything but equal to all of them. So yeah, they’re basically all of my siblings.
Billie EilishFans are my favorite thing in the world. I’ve never been the type of artist who has that line drawn between their friends and their fans. The line’s always been really blurred for me. I’ll hang out with them after the show. I’ll hang out with them before the show. If I see them in the mall, I’ll stand there and talk to them for 10 minutes.
Taylor SwiftDance music is no longer a simple Donna Summer beat. It’s become a whole language that I find fascinating and exciting. Eventually, it will lose the dance tag and join the fore of rock.
David BowieMy fans love me for me, my beats, my rhymes.
J. ColeI’m very active on social media and see the huge impact it has on engaging with fans and being able to have a voice.
Stephen CurryFootball is all about fans.
Sunil ChhetriFor me, genres are a way for people to easily categorize music. But it doesn’t have to define you. It doesn’t have to limit you.
Taylor SwiftI know people said I wasn’t selling out in America, but that was entirely untrue. We sold out all over the world, and every night I looked out into the fans and those front rows that you’re talking about, the tears, the honesty, the inability to not be completely overjoyed because they felt accepted.
Lady GagaI’ve met some Evertonians in the street, and they’ve been friendly. I’ve had taxi drivers who have been Everton fans. They’ve been really nice.
Jurgen KloppEver since I started to get recognition I’ve picked out certain fans and reverse-stalked them.
Jim CarreyFootball fans share a universal language that cuts across many cultures and many personality types. A serious football fan is never alone. We are legion, and football is often the only thing we have in common.
Hunter S. ThompsonI’ve been on tour since I was 16, and I always do meet-and-greets before and after shows, so you kind of build these friendships with people. I have girls come up to me and tell me exactly what’s going on in their love lives.
Taylor SwiftI know I have a responsibility to the fans.
Jackie ChanI wanted to only create a great perfume, not any perfume that would sell, but a great artistic one that the fans would not feel cheated by.
Lady GagaI want to thank my Eritrean fans for feeling connected to me and for supporting me. I feel extremely grateful.
Nipsey HussleYears ago, when I first started being a big star, I had fans that were fanatical. It was when ‚Jolene‘ was a big hit.
Dolly PartonWhen I got to New York City when I was 18, I started playing in clubs in Brooklyn – I have good friends and devoted fans on the underground scene, but we were playing for each other at that point – and that was it.
Lana Del ReyI’m not a supermodel. That’s not what I do. What I do is music. I want my fans to feel the way I do, to know what they have to offer is just as important, more important, than what’s happening on the outside.
Lady GagaI feel that my fans have cultivated my talent and they continue to nurture me.
Lady GagaI’m definitely gaining new fans, and that’s the key of any success… gain more love.
DJ KhaledI actually don’t want a throne at all, because I don’t view myself as a queen; I view myself as one of my fans.
Lady Gaga
