I went to a couple Academy Awards parties and I was definitely like, 'Whoa, no one will talk to me.'

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.

When you do a film, all you want is to make the best film possible. You don't think about Oscars. But it's really flattering. Please, bring it on!

Well, it was the beginning of my film career. It was amazing to me that I got nominated for an Academy Award.

I never planned to win an Oscar. When I auditioned for 'Ray,' I was just thinking about what a great project it would be.

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 think I was gonna be playing on the Oscars or anything.

I didn't really expect to be coming to the Oscars.

First of all, I never make a movie for awards consideration.

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.
