The way Sonny deals with his fans, you can tell he really does love and appreciate every last one he has. Even when people are invading his personal space, even if he actually has somewhere he’s got to be, when a fan approaches him he’s sweet and kind and friendly.

Really, there aren’t a lot of people like that in the world.
