On awards.

"Basically it’s like going around a party informing everyone that you’ve had sex with a human being last week: I’m sure it matters to you a great deal - and hopefully to the other person as well - but the rest of us likely don’t give a hoot."

Nice line.

"There are exceptions to this rule, but very few (they include ... a Crunchie ...)."

Um, I'm sure they matter a great deal to you, Mr. Wauters, but... Way to attack the symptoms of a disease you yourself have.



Yeah, I was confused by that -- was mentioning the Crunchie and the Europa Award in the same sentence as the Nobel and the Pulitzer a joke? If not, wow.
