Having these colossal accolades and titles, they get in the way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The love of these people and of my fans mean more than any award or special accomplishment.
I've always sort of felt that, for me, everything's so much more about the music than the accolades.
When it comes to the awards and everything, and the press, the publicity, this is all icing on the cake to me.
Awards are not the only markers of success; I don't judge myself just based on them. I believe that each cinema-goer has his own mental trophies.
Awards don't really mean much.
An overall title is one of the biggest things you can win in our sport.
You spend most of your life working and trying to hone your craft, working on your chops, working on your writing, and you don't really think about accolades. Then you get a bit older and they start coming your way. It's a nice pat on the back.
The accolades, just like the scrapes and bruises, fade in the end, and all you're left with is your ambition.
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.
Being named among the best at something is special and beautiful. But if there are no titles, nothing is won.
