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've always sort of felt that, for me, everything's so much more about the music than the accolades.

Awards don't really mean much.

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.

I don't take anything for granted; awards and all that go with it are very nice, and it's nice to get a positive response, but for me, it's about the music. I don't make music to win awards. I make music for the people.

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.

Awards mean absolutely nothing if you don't get it. If you do get it, they're the best thing in the world.

I don't live for the accolades. I'm more so about the music. Making it, and putting it out. Those are the two best feelings.

As artists, we do the work that we do. Receiving an award or not receiving an award in no way diminishes one's talent or value.
