“I’m very conscious at this point, at least in my young career, if I were to start doing it for the
trophies instead of for the people, I could lose sight and then lose my touch. I mean certainly, I don’t believe that people become artist
because they are completely selfless. But the recognition is merely motivation to continue. The recognition is merely the audience is
confirming that there lives have been affected. It’s a two way street. They get something and I get something. They’re telling me continue
doing your work because it’s really helped us. You wouldn’t have the Oscar ceremonies every year if those films weren’t important. I think it’s silly to insist that any deed you do as an artist will go unrecognized. Because I mean, if they did go unrecognized, the world would not be changing.”
