“I think everybody wants to be nominated, and be recognize, but I’m not gonna say they’re not important because they’ve been a big important part of my life, they have, but I think I’m at the point now in my life, and career, if I win an award great, if I don’t I just want to connect with my audience, and grow it, and whatever comes, comes. But it doesn’t mean I’m not competitive, cause I am, but I’m competitive in ways that I think that…I constantly think about how to make my live experience better. I’m competitive in that way.”
