Lily Tomlin
"Ironically, this award makes you feel like … you wish
you had done so much more to receive an honor such as
this. And now, after 50 years in the business, I find young
actors are asking me for sage advice hoping for nuggets
of wisdom. So, along with telling them to wear sunscreen,
I suggest a few other things I think you may find helpful:
Live your life so that when you are being honored for your
achievements, the people called upon to make laudatory
remarks can feel reasonably honest about their comments
[and] thank those people on whose shoulders you stand.
There are more people to thank for helping me with my
achievements than I actually have achievements. Thank
you. Thank you to the [union]. I'm just really grateful."
