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.

You don't want to make records so you can win a Grammy. You make records because you want to be a musician.

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.

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.

It never dawned on me at any particular time of my life that people are paid tremendous money to sing.

It's an honor to win a Grammy, of course.

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.

I'm a musician at heart, I know I'm not really a singer. I couldn't compete with real singers. But I sing because the public buys it.

I never thought of having platinum albums and winning awards. I just wanted to write songs and sing when I started out in the music business.
