What lists and awards don't measure - and I feel this strongly - is the lasting value of any work of art. They're a snapshot of a moment, and one should always consider their judgments in that context.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Except that awards are competitive, which is a negative thing, they are wonderful for singling out deserving individuals and bringing their work to the attention of many potential readers who might otherwise have been totally unaware of them.
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.
As artists, we do the work that we do. Receiving an award or not receiving an award in no way diminishes one's talent or value.
Awards for arts, where you make comparisons, don't make much sense.
Awards don't really mean much.
Awards are not the only markers of success; I don't judge myself just based on them. I believe that each cinema-goer has his own mental trophies.
I would say that awards are for children. Because children need a tangible representation of their achievement. And as adults, you have to settle for the respect and admiration of your peers.
Most awards, you know, they don't give you unless you go and get them - did you know that? Terribly discouraging.
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 are so unnecessary because I think we get so much out of our work just by doing it. The work is a reward in itself.
