I mean I would still love to be in Mel Brooks' movies; he's great.

I would love to do a movie with Albert Brooks; we're so different, but I find him so funny, and I can be just as seemingly narcissistic as he comes off, the 'it's all about me' kind of thing.

I'd like to win an Oscar.

There was one film that I really wanted. This was a long time ago; it was a film called 'Fracture.' Ryan Gosling ended up doing it with Anthony Hopkins. It wasn't a giant box-office success, but I really enjoyed the script, and I enjoyed the character. I got pretty close and was kind of disappointed it didn't go my way.

Jim Brooks is a very powerful director and it was a lot of intense work.

And I love Mel Brooks. My Dad loved his movies, too, they're awesome, the kind of thing that if you're in for ten minutes, you're in for two hours.

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 absolutely love Oscar. So classic. So timeless.

I never planned to win an Oscar. When I auditioned for 'Ray,' I was just thinking about what a great project it would be.

I got a chance to work with Mel Brooks on two of his films: Silent Movie and High Anxiety.
