You know how people say awards don't mean anything? Hello! I think the energy around them makes everyone cuckoo.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Awards don't really mean much.
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 mean absolutely nothing if you don't get it. If you do get it, they're the best thing in the world.
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.
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.
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.
The three of us just try put our heads down and stay creative. The awards truly are just cake. It's one of those things that you never expect, but getting the head nod from either the fans or your peers, that's the ultimate compliment.
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!
