I see fans all the time. They're always very complimentary and they're always very eager to talk and to share their experiences or get a selfie. They're really, really loyal. And intense.

Never say "never" about anything, because if you do, life has a way of humbling you.

History repeats itself over and over again, but most of us have short memories.
