Quote

I think the Grammy is like the award, you know.

The Grammy is the highest honor in music that we can receive, outside of having fans come and watch you every night and clap.

When you win a Grammy, it links a certain prestige and importance to you, you know? People want to talk to you.

When you win a Grammy... you're thinking about you winning. It is amazing. Your peers and folks in the record business are saying, 'This is what we think of you.' And that's why the Grammy will always be, to me, the ultimate in what you get as far as a music trophy, because it is the one.

As we make our way toward the finish line that some of us have already crossed, I never thought I'd get a Grammy Award. In fact, I was always touched by the modesty of their interest.

It's a dream of mine to win a Grammy one day. I'm not saying I'm Grammy-worthy, but it would be a dream come true.

A Grammy is really nice, but having lots of fans is really nice, too. I think just getting a record out is a success on its own.

By the way, I got a Grammy, which was a big thrill.

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 never sang for a Grammy, for money, for fame. That's my whole purpose for singing: for people, for the fans.
