I liked getting the Grammy more than not getting it.
I think I have a better chance at getting an Oscar before a Grammy.
If the other guy is getting better, then you'd better be getting better faster than the other guy is getting better... or you're getting worse.
In 1975 I had the award for the top male artist, the award for top single, the award for top album.
I might not win a Grammy or get another Stellar Award but I'll get my rewards from the Lord. There's nothing better than that.
Myself, I always tell people that if you're not getting better you're only getting worse, and every day I try and be better than yesterday.
It's relatively simple. If we're not getting more, better, faster than they are getting more, better, faster, then we're getting less, no better or more worse.
That concerns me. You're either getting better or you're getting worse. I don't think you stay the same in sports. If we want to achieve something special in the game, then these players have to recognize that they're responsible every day for getting better.
Half the struggle is just getting yourself to the gym or getting yourself in your workout gear and ready for action.
I like the story about Bon Iver. They said he kept his GRAMMY in, like, the basement bathroom so he could just focus on getting another one. If I won a GRAMMY, I'd probably keep it at my mom's house on 47th Street.
The Enlightenment faith that things are getting a little bit better each decade becomes difficult to support. People recognized that there had just been a war that was worse than the war of 1812, and worse than the Revolution; things were clearly not getting better and better.
The science is getting worse faster than the politics is getting better.
I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailleur? We are getting soft... As for me, give me a fixed gear!
I don't know what's better: getting laid or getting paid.
I just know when I'm getting one, the other's getting away.
The chance of a criminal getting caught,
is only slightly better than getting hit by lightning.
As a child, I used to watch award functions, and would dream of going up to the stage and getting an award.
