I couldn't care less about being a presenter at the Oscars.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Oh, I so don't care about the podium at the Oscars. I've stood at the podium at the Oscars and that's close enough. To be a presenter is as close as I need to be.
I don't really care about awards.
I didn't think I was gonna be playing on the Oscars or anything.
I've trained myself not to put too much emphasis on awards, only because I never got into acting to win an award.
I can't believe I am hosting the Oscars. It's an honor everyone else said no.
When it comes to the awards and everything, and the press, the publicity, this is all icing on the cake to me.
Hosting the Oscars is much like making love to a woman. It's something I only get to do when Billy Crystal is out of town.
I didn't get into film to win Academy Awards. I wanted to have a conversation with the audience.
I never dreamed I would be producing the Oscars. That was a huge deal for me.
Presenting the Oscars was the most nerve-racking job I have ever done in show business. It's very much a live show: they have comedy writers waiting in the wings, and as you come off between presentations, they hand you an appropriate gag to tell.
