How did the Oscar change my life? What it did was that it gave me a new reality. And it let me know that an award wasn't going to change my life - that I had to be in control of changing my life.

The Oscar made me a star, and I'm grateful. But I feel had I not won the Oscar I wouldn't have gotten into the messes I did in my personal life.

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

The Oscar is very beautiful, utterly mesmeric, but I don't feel any more important because I have won one. It doesn't mean I'm any better than anyone.

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

I can safely say that no one who has ever won an Oscar didn't want to win an Oscar.

I never, in my wildest dreams, could I have thought that the first role I get out of school would lead to an Oscar nomination.
