The Academy not only knew I existed, they thought I was good!

I consider it probably one of the biggest honors to be in the Academy. There are only like 1300 actors in it, and as far as I know, you're a member for life. To this day, I'm wondering how lucky I was.

I've been nominated for Academy Awards, I know what I'm doing.

The academy gave me a grounding in discipline and hard work that has sustained me throughout my life, and the lessons I learned there I now try to impress on young people.

A guy once told me that I sound like I'm a little ahead of myself. I can't wait to thank him at the Oscars.

I'm officially retired as the refuser of Academy Awards.

It's interesting, winning an Academy Award as a young man... life-changing, but I'm just me within that. It's been very helpful for my career, but I'm trying to stay on the path I was on before.

I was the worst extra, I was 'that' guy. I was the guy on the phone trying to get the Oscar for best extra - for best background performance.

I feel like I was in the last graduating class of commercial actors.
