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.

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

I don't really care about awards.

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.

I'm not trying to win individual awards.

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 care about awards. I want to make money. I want to own a business.

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!

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'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.
