Steve Clarke Quotes

I've never been a guy to sit back and look at all my trophies and look at all my awards; that's not me.

I'm not one who's big on accolades and all those things. I did my job and I'm proud of what I did and how I did it.

I'm not sure my achievements have been 'great.'

The proud man counts his newspaper clippings, the humble man his blessings.

It's nice to be recognized, but it's not great to have it too conspicuously recognized, if you see what I mean. Gold records on the wall, or titles after your name, it's just not something... I don't feel that great about it.

In my proudest moments, I think I had a real hand in the creative force of making 'Star Trek.' But most of the time, I don't think about it.

Medals don't suit me. I'm not that kind of guy.

Yes I have made a lot of money and I have a lot of respect, my films have done well, and I know there are loads of loads of people who look up to me and really love me. I really just thought this is like a strange dream. I have never thought this is a success - I don't have a standard.

If somebody says they really like my playing I say thanks a lot.

I've always found it embarrassing to receive awards.

I'm always amazed when anybody remembers anything of my work, and even more so when I get nominated for something I've done. For many years, I was like a horse wearing a pair of blinkers as far as using these awards or nominations in order to boost my career was concerned.

The disgraces I suffer should be attributed to me, but the praises that I get go to my family and teachers. It is they who decided what I would become.

I'm surprised by the success of anything I do, but it's gratifying when the public approves.

It's good to be noticed when you are proud of your work.

I work really hard - that doesn't mean I deserve anything, but it's really cool to see the positive reaction people give to something you worked so hard on. It's one of the best feelings.

When you're good at something, you'll tell everyone. When you're great at something, they'll tell you.
