“I’ve won a couple recently,” he added. “But these days I just look at it as like, ‘Oh, OK, we’re gonna go over here and, you know, have some dry chicken breast and green beans, you know, and we’ll listen to people get up there and pontificate about how awesome they are.'”<\/p>\n
Additionally, Thornton pointed out that if someone wins an award and is “truly honored by it,” he believes they should “honor the people who gave it to you,” instead of raising awareness for causes, political or otherwise.<\/p>\n
