Patrick Marber Quotes

One year, I was nominated for entertainer of the year, and I didn't think I deserved it.

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.

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.

I have not won far more awards than I have won.

You don't really work for awards, but when they come it's... nice.

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.

Awards are not something that I measure my work by. I've been so fortunate and I've gotten to do such terrific things that it seems petty to look back and say, 'Oh, I should have gotten that prize.' I don't look at it that way.

As we make our way toward the finish line that some of us have already crossed, I never thought I'd get a Grammy Award. In fact, I was always touched by the modesty of their interest.

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.

This is why it's hard to talk about winning awards. You can't do it without sounding like a tool.

When it comes to awards and things like that - I don't know why - I just always sit in amazement and never really expect it.

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 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 have a box of awards in the closet. I think it is weird to put them out. I might if I had an Emmy or Oscar, but I don't.

I'm not a great believer in awards-of course the fact that I've never won one has nothing to do with it at all!

Actually I walk around with the Emmy wherever I go, but I'm very casual about it.

I would be happy if they just gave out nominations and there weren't any Oscars. But winning them is definitely an experience - to get up there and make a speech. Every film is hard work, and a few lucky people do get Oscars for what they do, and it's recognition for all that hard work on a certain level.

Idolizing is a strong word, though. I'm happy that people respond well to the work I'm doing now. If anyone admires what I'm doing in any way, then I'm really proud of 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.

I think sometimes we get wrapped up in awards... ultimately, it's just a moment in time, and it passes.

I feel a bit uncomfortable talking about awards.

I was so grateful to win an Emmy, but just being nominated, it's not overrated!

It would be great to be recognised for my achievements, but Sports Personality isn't about that.
