I didn't expect to win the Oscar. You grow up watching the Oscars on TV and you think it happens to fancy people. It was really surreal.

I didn't think I was gonna be playing on the Oscars or anything.

I can tell you that going to the Oscars is not as exciting as people think, at least for me.

I don't think I ever expected anything like an Oscar ever, to tell you the truth. That is not my motivation when I do these roles. I really am motivated by being able to work with great people and create a body of work that I can look back and be proud of.

I never dreamed I would be producing the Oscars. That was a huge deal for me.

Don't get me wrong: I would not say no to an Oscar!

I actually had to learn what an Oscar was.

I am always a little surprised when anyone sees anything I make, so being nominated for the Oscar is beyond amazing - what a tremendous honor.

I never planned to win an Oscar. When I auditioned for 'Ray,' I was just thinking about what a great project it would be.

I literally don't think about Oscar.
