Actor Uzor Arukwe has revealed that he is scared of accolades, saying he does not want to be judged by the number of awards he has won.
Arukwe, who shared this in an interview on the CreativiTea podcast, discussed his philosophy on work and validation.
He said he would rather his craft speak for itself than be defined by trophies.
“But you know I’m also very scared of accolades because I don’t want you to measure me on awards or with awards or by awards. I want you to measure me by my last job,” he said.
The actor stressed that his focus is on consistency and delivering quality performances, maintaining that an actor is only as good as his last job.
