Quang Teo shared that any artist who has worked in the art field wishes to achieve the highest title of People's Artist, which is a milestone to strive for.
"I said I met the criteria to be considered for the title of People's Artist, but there will be many people who are more qualified than me. They were awarded the title first, but I... haven't been awarded it yet, so I'll leave it for later. It's no problem at all," he said.
According to artist Quang Teo, the most important and precious thing for an artist is the love of the people, the acceptance and trust of the audience and the public.
"I once said that I wanted to be a People's Artist by the end of my life, but I have wanted to be a People's Artist for a long time.
Recently, I was honored as a Vietnamese Talent , I also went to Korea to attend the 43rd Golden Film Festival and was lucky and honored to receive the award for Best Actor in Southeast Asia. To me, all of that is happiness," artist Quang Teo happily said.
The reporter asked: "Are you honestly sad and disappointed about being "failed" to be the People's Artist this time because you lacked 1 vote?"
The male artist confided: "It would be a lie to say I'm not sad. I'm a little sad but not disappointed or depressed at all. I'm still very calm!
Honestly, I live a very simple life, never showing off, so wherever I go, people love me and welcome me warmly and thoughtfully. My family life is also warm and decent, even though it took my wife 14 years to have a child.
I just hope to have good health so that I can continue to contribute, perform and serve the people. As for the title of People's Artist, perhaps it is not yet my destiny. If it is not this time, the next time will surely be better," he shared.

In response to the reporter's question about the shortcomings in the review of the titles of Meritorious Artist and People's Artist, artist Quang Teo said: "No one can love the whole world, no one is perfect and complete.
My comedy may be loved by many people, but there will be people who don't like it. In the Judging Council, for example, there are 20 people, there will be a few people who don't like me, don't choose me. It's difficult and it's inevitable.
I just think that, when considering the title of People's Artist in all factors and issues, there should be more criteria and factors such as serving the people. If you are a People's Artist, the people must know your face and name.

In a conversation with Dan Tri reporter, when asked about the title of People's Artist, the artist once shared that, at the age of 61, if he received the title, he would feel very warm-hearted, even though it was late.
"For a long time, I have considered myself an artist of the people. I have wandered around performing from the South to the North, performing in all the villages and hamlets of the Central Highlands, so in the hearts of the masses, I have had a certain position.
But the title of People's Artist will bring pride to the family and clan. Even if my village has a People's Artist, everyone will be very happy," he once shared.
Talking about his retirement and still performing diligently, Quang Teo said that if he were to be reborn as a human in the next life, he would still choose acting. This profession brings happiness to everyone, his life is all year round bringing joy to the audience and the audience also brings him recognition.

From my first role as Don Sut in the play The Ninth Oath until now, the audience has always recognized my efforts. That is the greatest success and I have no more expectations. I am satisfied and happy with my current life, with what I have," he confided.
