A lot of my joy this year has been to give away awards to young people, no matter of race, creed or color, because they were a terrific violinist or a terrific dancer.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My gift, if I have one, is choosing terrific talent and providing the atmosphere for them to do their best work.
My awards are lovely. I love to show them off.
The first award I ever won was for Best New Artist from the ACMs, so they always will hold a special place in my heart.
I love awards, especially if I get them.
Awards are for young people. They just are.
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've received many awards, but I'm most proud of the ones for my country's music.
Awards are lovely and always welcome.
Except that awards are competitive, which is a negative thing, they are wonderful for singling out deserving individuals and bringing their work to the attention of many potential readers who might otherwise have been totally unaware of them.
I am always a little surprised when anyone sees anything I make, so being nominated for the Oscar is beyond amazing - what a tremendous honor.
