[on winning awards, after he won the British Academy award] "It`s just an award although it is a big one. It is no good getting too big-headed. I`ve been very busy and I`m very tired. I`ve been given advice, you know on speech-making and things like that. It`s kind of weird that the other guys didn`t win because they`re such big guys."
