Justin Timberlake: Fans mean more than awards

Justin Timberlake says receiving praise from his fans is his “greatest reward”.

The star is often asked whether it is important for him to win awards for his music and acting achievements.

In his career so far the 30-year-old has already won six Grammy awards and four Emmys.

Justin has recently taken a break from singing and starred in movies such as The Social Network, Friends with Benefits and In Time.

Many want to know if he is now craving an Oscar.

Although the star admitted that he likes winning prizes, what he really wants is for people to enjoy his work.

“Since I started with my solo career I get asked whether I like winning awards. Honestly, who wakes up in the morning, thinking 'I hope I'll never win the Oscar or a Grammy?' But that shouldn't be the reason you're doing your job,” he told German magazine In. “I want my audience to respond. If someone comes and talks to me on the street, saying that they like my work – that's the greatest reward.”
