For my second and third pictures, I won Academy Awards. Nothing worse could have happened to me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
Well, it was the beginning of my film career. It was amazing to me that I got nominated for an Academy Award.
I'm officially retired as the refuser of Academy Awards.
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.
I didn't get into film to win Academy Awards. I wanted to have a conversation with the audience.
You win an Oscar, it can double the audience that you had before.
I was one of the horses of the Louis B. Mayer stable, and I thought the films I was given after my Academy Awards were not worthy.
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.
Is there a movie I think I should have won the Oscar for? Yeah. All of them.
The Academy Awards was an amazing night. I know I kind of lost my mind a little bit. I apologize for that. That night went so fast; I can't remember what I said or what happened.
