I knew it would happen. I knew I'd be No. 1. I'm a new artist; I don't know the rules. Nobody told me it wouldn't happen.

I'm a performance artist first; I'm a recording artist second.

I planned my success. I knew it was going to happen.

I have a master plan as an artist. I've always said I'm not going to be punching nobody's clock. I will work as an artist to survive in this world.

I always knew would be some sort of artist, but didn't know what.

Just to be nominated, and especially as a new artist and a female artist, is a feat. Winning anything is just a bonus.
