“So, I count these as fan-voted awards because you guys are the ones who care about our albums and come see us in concert.”

“It means the world to me that you guys have embraced the things I’ve made and the fact that you’ve cared so much about my music.
“This is like the nicest early birthday present you could’ve given me, so thank you very much, I love it.
It’s exactly what I wanted.”
