I think that if you go about making movies to win Oscars, you're really going about it the wrong way.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you think you're going to be up for an Oscar, you schedule your moviemaking.
When you're up for an Oscar, you just get offered everything. It's fantastic, but a lot of it you're completely inappropriate for.
I can tell you that going to the Oscars is not as exciting as people think, at least for me.
There's a lot of great movies that have won the Academy Award, and a lot of great movies that haven't. You just do the best you can.
Don't get me wrong: I would not say no to an Oscar!
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.
Comedies don't get nominated for Oscars. It doesn't happen. So when we set out to do a movie, it's not what we're thinking about.
I'm not saying that it's wrong to make huge Hollywood films but it's just a different kind of feeling, a different sort of pleasure.
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!
I think that the Oscar gives you some kind of guts or something, it gives you the illusion that you can do it. It's good for business.
