Awards don't really mean much.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't really care about awards.
Awards mean absolutely nothing if you don't get it. If you do get it, they're the best thing in the world.
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!
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.
Most awards, you know, they don't give you unless you go and get them - did you know that? Terribly discouraging.
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.
Awards are for young people. They just are.
Awards are meaningless to me, and I have nothing but disdain for anyone who actively campaigns to get one.
Awards are only a publicity gimmick.
Of course awards matter.
