I find there's almost no place to put an award that one's quite comfortable with.

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 for young people. They just are.

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

Actually, no, because awards don't spark sales as much as you'd think.

I'm not interested in awards. I never have been. I don't think they are important. Don't get me wrong, if somebody gives me a prize, I thank them as gratefully as I know how, because it's very nice to be given a prize. But I don't think that awards ought to be sought.
