Wesley Schultz Quotes

We've been around long enough and have been to enough award shows to know that it is easy to lose to Phil Collins at any time.

It doesn't matter who you are, how many awards you've won, how popular you are, or how much critical acclaim you've had.

I have records in gold, in platinum, I have two Oscars, I have Grammys and so on.

I'm not the most in-tune guy with what is getting nominated and winning awards in general.

Well, 20 Grammys is not bad.

I want to win Nobel Peace Prizes, as many Grammys as I can, Emmys, Golden Globes, VMAs, everything.

I was excited to be nominated for the Grammy, but prizes are a little strange.

But when it became an international hoopla where careers lived and died on whether or not you did or didn't get an Oscar, then it got out of hand.

When you're that successful, things have a momentum, and at a certain point you can't really tell whether you have created the momentum or it's creating you.

It would be nice to be on the charts again, nice to be recognised.

All my life, I was even just wanted to attend the Grammys, like, just be there, so the fact that I'm nominated for Best New Artist, it feels like a dream.

When I was growing up, I thought I'd be a lot happier if I was famous and successful and if I had money.

Well, you know the old line - to be nominated is what it's all about. I think that I've done pretty well - I've had about 46, or 47 nominations from my movies, and my films have won about 12 awards in total, so I don't really have any complaints.

Awards don't really mean much.

Sometimes I say to myself, 'Oh, I wish I could win a Tony Award', although I'm not that bothered.

I'm hungry for VMAs and Grammys. That's my main goal.

So many people equate money and success with happiness, especially in the music industry.

Are you kidding? This is crazy, man. I thought I was Mr. Pre-Televised awards.

I've been nominated for Academy Awards, I know what I'm doing.

Year after year, the Nobel Awards bring a moment of happiness not only to the recipients, not only to colleagues and friends of the recipients, but even to strangers.

I'm not sure whether I could win a Nobel Prize or not, but the Nobel Committee called me, and, 'You got the Nobel Prize.' So, I was so, so happy, and I was so surprised.

I equate fame towards people who know your work, people who will see your work. But all that stuff, like with the Genies and stuff like that, it was so much fun. It's so much fun and it's nice when it comes, but that's not what it's all about.

The awards world can be ridiculous, but I'm not one to bash it. I love awards! When I've been nominated for Emmys and when I won my DGA Award, I couldn't have been happier. I always liked getting a gold star in class.

I do want to sell as many records and win as many awards as I can. The awards though, they don't necessarily determine if you're good or not. I know that now.

I don't have a sense of entitlement or that I deserve this. You'd be surprised at the lack of competition between nominees - I think a lot of it's imposed from the outside. Can I have my champagne now?
