It meant as much to me as winning the Oscar.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
The Oscars have become such a big deal these days that it's just used as adjective.
Winning the Oscar was like winning all the prizes in one single night that I never won as a kid.
I used to say that winning the Oscar means being back at the Beverly Hills Hotel at 1 A.M. feeling empty. It's the industry voting. It doesn't come from God. It doesn't change your life, really.
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.
Winning an Oscar is an honor, but, between you and me, it does not makes things easier.
You win an Oscar, and the movie that comes after that is always going to be compared.
I know I've said it before in interviews, but the idea that all actors have their eye on some sort of prize - it being an Oscar, or fame, or whatever - not all actors I know are like that.
Acting meant so much to me.
