One of the amazing things that quickly became apparent to the fandom during the early days was the openness of the staff itself, particularly creator Lauren Faust. Quite frequently she answered a number of questions about Equestria, her work, her interests, behind the scenes process of making the show and much more either on her deviantArt page, Twitter or interviews she once did with EqD, 4chan, Ponychan and others years ago.
In her answers she revealed a lot of what she thought of certain events in the show, things that had been cut or changed, and giving detailed background on a number of subjects, clarifying some of the fandom's earliest questions mostly back between 2011-2013.
Going through the archives of Equestria Daily the best I can, I have compiled a large list of answers Lauren has given over the years but if you know of some I have missed, please feel free to add them in the comments! These span several years and it's quite possible I missed some.
This is going to be a long article as I copy interviews, pictures and more from various articles on EqD over the years so be prepared for a wild ride!
Lastly, a big thanks to the Ponycon crowd at our EqD panel for helping us come up with this idea to spotlight Lauren's old answers.
