"We live our lives in front of each other. When I was living in my car and record labels started coming down, I listened back the tapes and I wasn't good, you know what I mean, but I was really sincere. And that's what people really wanted. And all you can do is be honest, I think, you know as long as you're working toward it, you're going to make mistakes but that's alright. It's like a jalopy winning the Indy 5000. It's a tremendous honor, really a tremendous honor. I feel silly, I think I'm the big dork up there, you know? (laughs) It's something I wasn't even planning or counting on or even hoping for. Even a nomination is I'll never get one nomination. Ah, so it's stunning. It takes a variety of artists to move and change society because everybody's at a different place to be touched. Um, so I'll feel good that anybody wins, really honestly. You always feel better when you sing. Music touches people's hearts. You know, it doesn't go through your mental capacity, it just moves you and it will let you cry. It's worth it doing a show and when you touch a crowd and move yourself at the same time. You change lives and you change the world."
