I know it's superficial, and you can't measure art, which is supposed to be up to the individual, but I've watched the Oscars since I was a baby with my mother.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always tell younger filmmakers, it's not just about the acting or the art itself. It's about how big of an audience watches your film.
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'll tell you this about the Oscars - they're real.
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.
I actually had to learn what an Oscar was.
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!
You don't make pictures for Oscars.
This great imperialistic world called the United States has made us believe that an Oscar is the most important thing in the world for an actor. But if you think about it for five minutes you realise it can't be.
I literally don't think about Oscar.
