I agree to the fight. The award, which is getting for these hardships, it is exorbitantly large. It is the joy of life.
It's funny that it all becomes about clothes. It's bizarre. You work your butt off and then you win an award and it's all about your dress. You can't get away from it.
The Companion of Honour I regarded as an award from the country for 50 years of work - which I thought was okay.
Actually, I always dreamed about getting a gold medal in the 100-meter freestyle in Olympic swimming. I always thought that would be the epic award in sports to get.
Some people work hard in this business and become really popular, really big stars but they never receive an award from within the business. Somehow, when your colleagues and friends believe in you to the point of handing you an award it means so much more.
One of the nicest things about living in America is the fact that sooner or later you are practically bound to get an award of some sort or other.
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.
I'm an Academy Award winner. I'm serious.
I don't really look forward to movie stardom or doing a $200-million movie or winning an Academy Award.
Shoot a few scenes out of focus. I want to win the foreign film award.
I have to say that my biggest Award is performing in front of my fans. Their love is my award.
Acknowledgment, award, appreciation.
Nowadays, what an award gives is a sense of solidarity with the poetry guild, as it were: sustenance coming from the assent of your peers on the judging panel.
I gave a very dear friend of mine my humanitarian award. Because you don't need an award to be, or not be, a humanitarian.
I've done experimental work, I've done real conventional documentaries that were very successful, like Las Madres that was nominated for an Academy Award. And, from that moment on I felt like, "Okay, I can make that. Now where am I going to go?"
Taylor Swift's dedication to advocacy at such a young age continues to inspire me, and I'm delighted to honor her as one of our 2012 Ripple of Hope Award recipients. [. . . ] and especially the compassion she's shown as a proud defender against bullying and LGBTI discrimination. [. . . ] As a young person, Taylor has already accomplished so much, and I look forward to watching all that she will do to help build a brighter, more peaceful world for us all.
Guys, I haven't been doing this for a long time, it's a fluke! I'm gonna share this BAFTA award with all the young dreamers who are determined, who are hard working, who are quite frankly amazing. This is also for you. Blessings for your path and God bless.
I have no wish to win an award that would be tainted.
How important is failure - yes, failure - to the health of a thriving, innovative business? So important that Ratan Tata, chairman of India's largest corporation, gives an annual award to the employee who comes up with the best idea that failed.
I do know there are a lot of people who seem to be in my corner, and that's, of course, wonderful. I'm really more interested in the nomination than in the award, because I think the nomination just puts you within a group of outstanding actors.
