You spend most of your life working and trying to hone your craft, working on your chops, working on your writing, and you don't really think about accolades. Then you get a bit older and they start coming your way. It's a nice pat on the back.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The accolades, just like the scrapes and bruises, fade in the end, and all you're left with is your ambition.
The accolades usually come when you're dead or too old to get a job.
Accolades and lists may tell us about accomplishments, but life is meant to be experienced, not just accomplished. It's like the difference between reading books for the sake of reading and reading books just to get a good grade.
Awards can give you a tremendous amount of encouragement to keep getting better, no matter how young or old you are.
When you're doing a job, you go out there and do it to the best of your ability and you don't think about awards and things like that.

I don't live for the accolades. I'm more so about the music. Making it, and putting it out. Those are the two best feelings.
Being acknowledged for your work is always a great accomplishment, whether it's people in my city, kids in the street, all the way up to the Grammys.
I've always sort of felt that, for me, everything's so much more about the music than the accolades.
Awards can't be what's important in your life. Because that only affects you in a sense. Life is so much more than that: It's your family and your friends and that sort of thing.
