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 an honor to win a Grammy, of course.

I don't take anything for granted; awards and all that go with it are very nice, and it's nice to get a positive response, but for me, it's about the music. I don't make music to win awards. I make music for the people.

Awards are so unnecessary because I think we get so much out of our work just by doing it. The work is a reward in itself.

My awards are lovely. I love to show them off.

I've had a very good career and I'm grateful that the public has had some level of acceptance and appreciation of my work.

I don't feel I have to acknowledge how I'm doing by an award.

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.

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

I've always sort of felt that, for me, everything's so much more about the music than the accolades.
