I sometimes wonder how many of these lifetime achievement awards you can accept before you have to do the decent thing and die.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
Most awards, you know, they don't give you unless you go and get them - did you know that? Terribly discouraging.
I have not won far more awards than I have won.
Awards are meaningless to me, and I have nothing but disdain for anyone who actively campaigns to get one.
Awards can give you a tremendous amount of encouragement to keep getting better, no matter how young or old you are.
Awards can't be what's important in your life. Because that only affects you in a sense. Life is so much more than that: It's your family and your friends and that sort of thing.
Awards don't really mean much.
Awards mean absolutely nothing if you don't get it. If you do get it, they're the best thing in the world.
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!
It doesn't matter how many times you win an award, it is always very special.
