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

I would like to have won a Tony, I guess, because I have always thought of myself as a theater person. But I've won my share of awards, so I don't worry about it.

I don't set out to win awards. I don't think any musician does, but when you receive an award, it's an affirmation: it means that people appreciate what you do.

And, I'd never done Tennessee Williams, and I had done Broadway musicals, so it was a challenge.

Yeah, I've always considered myself a musical person.

I always see my music for its rewards rather than its awards. But I always thought if there was one award I'd want to win, it would be the Mercury.

I have absolutely no musical talent of my own!

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.

I'm a very musical person.
