I'm disciplined about writing. I get up every day knowing I have to produce work. I'm less concerned about other aspects of the job, such as the prizes and promotions. Promoting my work can be awkward, unless I feel sociable enough. Prizes encourage me to work harder on my next project.

Sefi Atta

Most of the ones [Nobel prizes] that have gone to Muslims have been peace prizes, and the [number of Muslims] who have gotten them for scientific work is exceedingly low. But in Jews, it is exceedingly high.

Richard Dawkins

Nobel prizes are very special prizes, and it would be great to get one.

Craig Venter

No more prizes for predicting the rain, only prizes for building the arks

Don Edward Beck

There may be certain genres that men dominate, but fiction not so much. The question of prizes is tricky because there are so many prizes.

Emma Donoghue

It is impossible to win the great prizes of life without running risks, and the greatest of all prizes are those connected with the home.

Theodore Roosevelt

If you want poor people to work you restore their incentive by giving them less, such as by cutting social services. If you want rich people to work you restore their incentive by giving them more, such as by cutting taxes.

Jim Stanford

I'm not sure that the culture of literary prizes is always a good thing, but while there are literary prizes, it's nice to be nominated.

Sally Rooney

Prizes are like butterflies, colorful butterflies that fly away. I don't believe in prizes much.

Jim Crace

I didn't do my work for money or prizes - only for the excitement of discovery.

Edmund Phelps

Any property that's open to common use gets destroyed. Because everyone has incentive to use it to the max, but no one has incentive to maintain it.

Neal Stephenson

The incentive for business is not, and cannot, be anything other than the root incentive for all business: they must profit.

Edward Norton

I didn't get a chance to meet Glen [Beck] for this movie. I did meet him a few years ago, coincidentally, before any of this happened. But I've been familiar with his work, so I felt I wanted to get it right. I wanted to honor him. I respect him and I think the way he does his job is admirable. Yeah, there was an added incentive. I wouldn't call it pressure, but incentive perhaps.

Zachary Quinto

To function as an actress, I have to be in love. I have to have that incentive to work.

Jayne Mansfield
