So many people have won Emmys, so many people have won multiple Emmys that I think it's a degraded award.
You mustn't take any award so seriously.
Awards sell tickets, and they're a clever publicity stunt.
Grammys, American Music Awards, successful albums, I'd pick my kids any day over any of it.
Winning the Outstanding Contribution award is great, because you know you have won in advance. Previously, I have been really nervous during the ceremony because you have no idea if you are going to get called up on stage. This time I could relax and enjoy myself.
I dress up for awards, but only if somebody else is going to pay for the clothes. And shop for them, too!
I get nervous before everything - dates, filming, awards shows.
Things with my dad were pretty good until I won an Academy Award. He was really loving to me until I got more attention than he did. Then he hated me.
If you want to be a well-paid copywriter, please your client. If you want to be an award-winning copywriter, please yourself. If you want to be a great copywriter, please your reader.
I couldn't stop looking at the award when I received it. It was as if my whole career flashed in front of me, from beginning to the moment I was handed the Golden Globe.
A lot of my joy this year has been to give away awards to young people, no matter of race, creed or color, because they were a terrific violinist or a terrific dancer.
Well, it was the beginning of my film career. It was amazing to me that I got nominated for an Academy Award.
The Nobel Prize is given as a personal award but it also honors the field of research in which I have worked and it also honors my students and colleagues.
The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.
I judged about a zillion awards this year so Ive been reading a lot of books that just came out.
I worked three and then six hours a day in my studio with strict discipline and emotion. I obtained awards usually granted to other foreigners during the end-of-year admission tests.
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.
I don't like to sit and bask in my own awards. Awards represent artistic death to me.
My new house is going to have wall-to-wall awards!
I'm a Golden Globe nominee, yes. It's very nice. It's a very nice thing, but I kind of think of all the awards I wasn't ever nominated for, for years and things.
See, the SAG awards caught me totally by surprise.
I'm awkward at these things. Just being nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Karate Kid was a real surprise and I was a little uncomfortable.
Everyone else can do violence. You know, Clint Eastwood, Sylvester Stallone, they can all do shoot-'em-ups. Arnold Schwarzenegger can kill 10 people in one minute, and they don't call it "white exploitation." They win awards and get into all the magazines. But if black people do it, suddenly it's different than if a white person does it. People respond differently because people come from different places.
I think I've done pretty well. I've had about 46, or 47 nominations from my movies, and my films have won about 12 awards, so I don't have any complaints.
I never knew I'd be in a musical, let alone win an award for one.
