I don't think about that. I wasn't a kid growing up saying one day I'll get an Oscar and make a speech. That wasn't on my mind. So what I do is the best work I can do.

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.

Winning the Oscar was like winning all the prizes in one single night that I never won as a kid.

I actually had to learn what an Oscar was.

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

When I was growing up in the house, we'd watch the Oscars.

Even when I was a little kid, I always said I would be in the movies one day, and damned if I didn't make it.

I literally don't think about Oscar.

I think when you're young and have that first burst of energy and make five or six pictures in a row that tell the stories of all the things in life you want to say... well, maybe those are the films that should have won me the Oscar.
