I'm not a great believer in awards-of course the fact that I've never won one has nothing to do with it at all!

Awards are not something that I measure my work by. I've been so fortunate and I've gotten to do such terrific things that it seems petty to look back and say, 'Oh, I should have gotten that prize.' I don't look at it that way.

I'm not really an awards person. I've got a couple of gongs over my time, but I tend to be snubbed anyway for some reason.

You don't want to make awards the reason you're doing things.

I find awards frivolous. When I began my career, I was told that I deserved an award for a certain performance, but then I couldn't turn up on the day of the show. Then I was told that the award went to someone else. That's when I realised the truth behind it all.

I've trained myself not to put too much emphasis on awards, only because I never got into acting to win an award.

When you're doing a job, you go out there and do it to the best of your ability and you don't think about awards and things like that.

Awards mean absolutely nothing if you don't get it. If you do get it, they're the best thing in the world.

I don't want awards. I am not saying this like it's a case of sour grapes. It isn't. I have been to a couple of award functions, and I soon realised that it doesn't give me the kick that it does to others.

Most awards, you know, they don't give you unless you go and get them - did you know that? Terribly discouraging.
