I mean, the competition is really created by the buzz around the Emmys. It's a totally subjective thing.

So many people have won Emmys, so many people have won multiple Emmys that I think it's a degraded award.

The Emmys seem like an entity unto themselves that have an agenda that sometimes corresponds to quality, sometimes doesn't.

The Emmys is great, but the Golden Globes, you have the stars of television and the stars of movies in one place.

Emmys are wonderful and I'm thrilled to death that I have mine. But they're representative of a specific achievement, where this sort of thing is representative of how you've grown in your own industry.

I think the Emmy obviously is very prestigious and is the gold standard obviously in terms of television. But the Oscars go beyond that. I believe children, when they're growing up, dream of holding that Oscar.

Television has its own award. It's called the Emmy. It's a good award. I like it. I have one. But you don't see movies like 'The King's Speech' win Oscars and then go to TV and qualify for Emmys. In documentaries, some networks have been able to game the system.

When you feel an audience engaged and surprised and enthusiastic, reacting to what you've planned, that is the reward. It's better than the Emmys.
