The Caldecott Award has allowed me to keep doing what I'm doing for some time longer, for which I am ever grateful.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I want to thank the public, so I have to keep doing what I do, which is keep winning medals for my country.
I feel I've been blessed with a gift of creativity and composition. That's why I've been able to keep going.
You've got to keep your eye on the prize and do what you love to do.
I've done it all. I'm thankful and proud of what I've accomplished in my life. I hope to keep doing it.
My goal was never to win awards. Mine was let me get to a place where I don't have to work. I don't have to do anything I don't want to.
Fortunately during my career I have won more or less everything, so I need to enjoy it to have the right motivation.
It's crucial that I kind of keep up, without drifting into the backslapping land of cliche and lifetime achievement awards.
I wanted to dedicate myself completely to the things that matter to me and let everything else go, and I think that's a really rewarding thing.
I feel that the greatest reward for doing is the opportunity to do more.
I don't feel I have to acknowledge how I'm doing by an award.
