When you look at Darling and the Oscars, it has to be luck. It was a black and white film and it was the last time that there was a black and white Oscar.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
What I think is a really special movie is 'Black and White' with Kevin Costner and Octavia Spencer, which Mike Binder directed. I got to see a screening of it, and I think Kevin and Octavia and Anthony Mackie and Bill Burr all give such beautiful performances in that movie.
The Oscars is always the most special event of Awards Season and is the grand finale - there's just something about the atmosphere that makes it magical.
I remember when I first won the Academy Award and how much I loved it. I just wish there was an award around that you could really believe in again.
The Academy and the Oscars have been very gracious to me.
You win an Oscar, and the movie that comes after that is always going to be compared.
For American filmmakers, the Oscars is like a mystic thing. For me, it was being in a mirror of my dreams when I was dreaming of Hollywood when I was an adolescent.
I try not to repeat myself too often, but it's a gamble. 'Fred Claus' had three Oscar winners in it. No business - it was a bad movie.
Don't get me wrong: I would not say no to an Oscar!
I have to remember that winning an Oscar is an almost unbelievable goal and that it is an honour just to be nominated.
