I understand that artists and critics make a big deal over the Grammys. But when I go to my shows and I'm selling out arenas in London, and when I'm in Australia and Japan, there aren't any Grammys there. There are human beings who I've touched. There are human beings who are inspired by me, who I love dearly. And that's what my career is based on.

Take me or leave me, I'll never be perfect. Believe me I'm worth it

My ice is so cold, it should come on a cone.

I happen to be a pessimist, and maybe that's a good thing because I don't stop to smell the roses - which is not a good personal thing. I don't stop and enjoy those moments. Always on to the next and never in the moment.

I aint sleepin when I say I'm in my dream car

Your victory is right around the corner. Never give up.

I've gotten tons of awards and I believe when it's my time to get a Grammy, I'll get a Grammy.
