I literally don't think about Oscar.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I really don't think that the Oscar changed my career much because I didn't want it to.
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 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 can safely say that no one who has ever won an Oscar didn't want to win an Oscar.
I didn't really expect to be coming to the Oscars.
An Oscar means a lot of things because it's like the ultimate award for a filmmaker so it feels great. But I think you have to consider awards with some distance and not get obsessed with it. When you're creating you shouldn't think about it.
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.
This whole Oscar thing is so political. It's about how much a film grosses, and who's in it, and how well it has been promoted.
Don't get me wrong: I would not say no to an Oscar!
I think there's an awful lot of me in Big Bird, but Oscar is pretty much - I think I know how he thinks because he thinks exactly the opposite of what I think is a good way to be.
