The Academy Awards was an amazing night. I know I kind of lost my mind a little bit. I apologize for that. That night went so fast; I can't remember what I said or what happened.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I remember when I first won the Academy Award and how much I loved it. I just wish there was an award around that you could really believe in again.
Oscar night is a ridiculous night where you go to these parties and you see everyone that you've ever wanted to work with and admire.
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'd said to my sweetheart a couple of days before that the SAG and Spirit Award nomination was amazing and I had no attachment to the Academy Award. I knew I was an underdog so I just decided to sleep through the announcement.
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.
The Academy and the Oscars have been very gracious to me.
There is no worse situation to be in than Oscar night. Not knowing whether you've won is completely draining.
For my second and third pictures, I won Academy Awards. Nothing worse could have happened to me.
The Oscar buzz when I was nominated was totally overwhelming. I think I can cope with anything now that I've coped with that. It was huge. It makes you realize, coming from a small country like Australia, what an enormous industry it is in America.
I didn't get into film to win Academy Awards. I wanted to have a conversation with the audience.
