Presenting statues of honor to reporters for covering an earthquake is like presenting a first prize to a doctor for performing surgery.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Oh, I so don't care about the podium at the Oscars. I've stood at the podium at the Oscars and that's close enough. To be a presenter is as close as I need to be.
So, in other words, how you respond to a sculpture, how a viewer sees the sculpture, is vital.
All the media have their own award presentations.
The thing about the Nobel ceremony is that for a whole week, you get treated like a superstar. You get driven everywhere. You have minders who always make sure you get where you're going. And you always get into the back seat of the limo.
I'm a presenter.
The Nobel Prize gives one the opportunity to take public stands.
Awards shows mainly publicize the people giving the awards.
Awards sell tickets, and they're a clever publicity stunt.
My sculptures cause an uproar, astonishment, and put a smile on your face.
Here's the thing - I mean, I don't act for statues. I really don't. The great thing about winning an award is that it creates opportunities.
