I've got my Grammys on top of my piano and I look at them when I play.

I have records in gold, in platinum, I have two Oscars, I have Grammys and so on.

I consider my musical ability to be a gift from the Creator. It's not that I try to work hard or nothing like that, it's a gift, it was given to me, and I appreciate it.

The piano is kind of my second instrument.

And I definitely have an affinity with the piano.

I don't need an award to inspire me to keep making music.

Last year, I finally got my own grand piano, and that was a big thing for me because it's always been and always will be a very important part of my life.

I never knew I'd be in a musical, let alone win an award for one.

Without the piano, my life would be a disaster - nobody would hold me in any regard. It's the thing that saved me.

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