Award Quotations

In the end it's about the work, not an award you get for the work.
Linda Fiorentino

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.
Sharon Stone

Kenneth G. Wilson

John Kenneth Galbraith

I don't deserve this award, but I have arthritis and I don't deserve that either.
Jack Benny
