Quote

I didn't think I was gonna be playing on the Oscars or anything.

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

The Oscars are really nice, but the best part is that I had the opportunity to do that kind of work.

I have my very own Oscar now to be with me until death us do part.

I didn't really expect to be coming to the Oscars.

I really don't think that the Oscar changed my career much because I didn't want it to.

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.

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.

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.
