British Academy Award

Famous quotes containing the words british, academy and/or award:

    I’m a bad son. Is it the chromosomes, do you think, or is it England?
    David Mercer, British screenwriter, and Karel Reisz. Morgan (David Warner)

    I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike—and I don’t think there really is a distinction between the two—are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats. And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.
    Harold Bloom (b. 1930)

    The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)
