When I won the Oscar, I made a point of actively going against that and doing adventure films like 'Con Air' and 'Gone in 60 Seconds,' not what would be expected.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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 can tell you that going to the Oscars is not as exciting as people think, at least for me.
I think that if you go about making movies to win Oscars, you're really going about it the wrong way.
I didn't expect to win the Oscar. You grow up watching the Oscars on TV and you think it happens to fancy people. It was really surreal.
I really don't think that the Oscar changed my career much because I didn't want it to.
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 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.
Movie acting suits me because I only need to be good for ninety seconds at a time.
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 when you're young and have that first burst of energy and make five or six pictures in a row that tell the stories of all the things in life you want to say... well, maybe those are the films that should have won me the Oscar.
