I have found that the more I honored others, the more they honored me and the more fulfilling my career became. In the business arena, I have been surrounded by people with awesome skills. The difference between good and great is determined by the mindset you choose to bring to the work. The concept of honor should be part of that mindset.

It never seemed that honorable to me, and I guess I was always afraid that I might fail.

Would it be an honor to be bestowed Hall of Fame credentials? Yeah. Does it define me as a person? No.

It really is an honor if I can be inspirational to a younger singer or person. It means I've done my job.

I think when you're doing good work, you don't necessarily need to be validated.

I felt very honored, and I knew that people would be watching very closely, and I felt it was very, very important that I do a good job.

It's very validating when you are new in the industry to get awards. It boosts your self-esteem.

Honor is a gift a man gives himself. You can be as good as anyone that ever lived. If you can read, you can learn everything that anyone ever learned. But you've got to want it.
