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.

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 don't feel I have to acknowledge how I'm doing by an award.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

The perfect expression of receiving a lifetime award is to be working when they're handing it out.

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.
