Joanne Woodward Quotes

I've never been one to chase awards or anything like that, to be honest.

Unfortunately, in the Hollywood way, respect comes in the form of a trophy a lot of the time.

I think they're an incredible honor. I'm grateful and flattered by them. But I have no control over winning awards - I have no control over any of that.

Being acknowledged for your work is always a great accomplishment, whether it's people in my city, kids in the street, all the way up to the Grammys.

I personally am not very interested in awards or the awards circuit.

Here's the thing - I mean, I don't act for statues. I really don't. The great thing about winning an award is that it creates opportunities.

I'm not aiming for an Academy Award.

I am still the same person doing the same science. Why are people so impressed when some academy in Sweden gives an award?

I'm not interested in awards. I never have been. I don't think they are important. Don't get me wrong, if somebody gives me a prize, I thank them as gratefully as I know how, because it's very nice to be given a prize. But I don't think that awards ought to be sought.

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.

Awards are only a publicity gimmick.

I don't really care about awards.

I've always said about awards that they're meaningless until you win one, and then they're best thing in the world. The other thing about awards is that they engender respect from areas where it might never have come from without it.

For me, awards are a token of respect that people are giving me. So no matter how many awards I am receiving, I always feel emotional.

It's really humbling to be acknowledged by such established names like CMT and Billboard.

The tag of a 'National Award winner' earned me a lot of respect from a lot of people. I like that in a way.

Now, all the people who spoke before, when I won the Golden Ball, have shut their mouths now the coaches and players from national teams have given me this prize and this recognition.

I have an awards cabinet in my studio where I keep my eight Oscars, my 11 Grammys, my seven Golden Globes, and my Tony Award.

Well, I think awards are pretty meaningless.

I've won several Emmys, a Tony and a Grammy, so maybe somebody will let me have an Oscar, and then I'll have a full set.

I love awards, especially if I get them.

I'm thrilled when I get nominated. I don't count how many and I don't remember how many I've had. I just know it's a lot.

You mustn't take any award so seriously.

An Oscar means a lot of things because it's like the ultimate award for a filmmaker so it feels great. But I think you have to consider awards with some distance and not get obsessed with it. When you're creating you shouldn't think about it.

Awards don't really mean much.
