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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Well, it was the beginning of my film career. It was amazing to me that I got nominated for an Academy Award.
Is there a movie I think I should have won the Oscar for? Yeah. All of them.
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 guess I really haven't thought much about winning an Oscar, but if I had the opportunity, I'm sure I would like it.
I really don't think that the Oscar changed my career much because I didn't want it to.
I didn't think I was gonna be playing on the Oscars or anything.
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 was afraid I would get the Oscar for 'Irma La Douce' because it was popular. But I didn't want to because I didn't really think it was that good.
This sounds crazy, but my goal is to be nominated for an Oscar. I was the kid who was practicing my acceptance speech when I was ten.
I never dreamed I would be producing the Oscars. That was a huge deal for me.
