I used to only worry about the #1's and all of the awards. But that was a long time ago.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most awards, you know, they don't give you unless you go and get them - did you know that? Terribly discouraging.
I never envisioned being number one for five weeks, knocking Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men off the charts. That's the scariest thing and the greatest thing that ever happened to me.
I always thought my records were number one; it's just the charts didn't think so.
I don't worry about numbers. I worry about wins. You can see all the years that my numbers went down and how many championships I've got. That's what I worry about.
I love awards, especially if I get them.
The three of us just try put our heads down and stay creative. The awards truly are just cake. It's one of those things that you never expect, but getting the head nod from either the fans or your peers, that's the ultimate compliment.
I'm thrilled when I get nominated. I don't count how many and I don't remember how many I've had. I just know it's a lot.
I have awards right now that I do not remember walking on stage to get.
I'm not a great believer in awards-of course the fact that I've never won one has nothing to do with it at all!
I don't really care about awards.
