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

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!

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.

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 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 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 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.

My awards are lovely. I love to show them off.

Awards are meaningless to me, and I have nothing but disdain for anyone who actively campaigns to get one.

I love awards, especially if I get them.
