It's Sort Of A Meat Market, The Whole Awards Thing, And I Don't Think You Can Predict It Anymore - Who's Going To Like What You've Done, If It's Worthy Or Not. And Hopefully, That's Not Why You Make A Film, Because If You're Distracted By That, Or Only Striving For That, You Don't Do It Justice.
I Get Cassettes Near Academy Award Time Of Every Movie That's Made That Thinks It Has Some Kind Of Chance For A Nomination - That's When I Watch My Movies

Awards Are Not The Only Markers Of Success; I Don't Judge Myself Just Based On Them. I Believe That Each Cinema-goer Has His Own Mental Trophies.
I've Always Thought That When Anyone Receives An Award For Acting They Should Always Thank Their Fellow Actors, Because The Only Way You're Going To Deliver Your Best Performance Is When You Have Other Good Actors On The Set Supporting You And Being Very Present For You Even When The Camera Is Not On Them.

Larry Carlton Is An Incredibly Versatile Guitarist Who Has Been A Major Force For Guitar For Many Years. He Is Easily Recognizable - All You Have To Do Is Hear Him Once And From That Point On You'll Be A Fan, Just Like Me. It Gives Me Great Pleasure To Extend Congratulations To Larry On His 2011 George Benson Lifetime Achievement Award. Congratulations !
Give Me A Young Man Who Has Kept Himself Morally Clean And Has Faithfully Attended His Church Meetings. Give Me A Young Man Who Has Magnified His Priesthood And Has Earned The Duty Of God Award And Is An Eagle Scout. Give Me A Young Man Who Is A Seminary Graduate And Has A Burning Testimony Of The Book Of Mormon. Give Me Such A Young Man, And I Will Give You A Young Man Who Can Perform Miracles For The Lord In The Mission Field And Throughout His Life.
I Turned Down A Knighthood. It Would Be Like Having To Wear A Suit Every Day Of Your Life.
I Wanted To Be An Actor My Whole Young Life. My Dad Was An Actor, Obviously - He Won An Academy Award, But I Had No Idea What Was Involved. I Had All The Wrong Ideas About Acting.
