Also, I've already won all the awards.

I'm not trying to win individual awards.

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've never won many awards, I didn't get certificates for swimming or anything.

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.

I don't really care about awards.

Most awards, you know, they don't give you unless you go and get them - did you know that? Terribly discouraging.

Awards don't really mean much.

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.
