When I won the first Grammy, there was no other feeling like that feeling. It just made me feel like I came so far, like that was just a dream a few years before that, and then it was happening right then.

But the Grammys is just not something I can take too seriously. It would be a mistake to hinge my happiness on something so completely out of my control.

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

I feel like if I won an award and I was giving my speech and the music started, that's all I'd remember, the humiliation I felt when the music started. It would mar the entire experience for me.

The last thing I want is to walk into my house after a long day and see all the Grammys and awards. It would make me feel weird.

I think cool moments like winning a Grammy deserve a nice little party where you really soak it in and not have to work and stuff. I do remember throwing a party on that Grammy night, but it was work.

I have my moments - usually twice every album - when I basically lose it.

I never had any expectations of winning a Grammy. It wasn't something I was set on, that I was hoping and praying and starving for.

I really feel every word to every song a lot more than I have in the past.

Having the opportunity to express myself through music has been extremely cathartic for me my entire life.
