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'd like to win an Oscar.

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.

It goes back to all of us wanting to be in Hollywood. We're all dying to win an Oscar.

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.

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.

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 never, in my wildest dreams, could I have thought that the first role I get out of school would lead to an Oscar nomination.

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.

Don't get me wrong: I would not say no to an Oscar!
