Well, the way things are going, aside from wheat and auto parts, America's biggest export is now the Oscar.
I'm a gigantic musical film fan.
When I think about filmmakers and actresses that I have admired my whole life, I've admired their entire body of work.
I was very disappointed that Denzel didn't win Best Actor for The Hurricane because I thought he deserved it.
I was such a New Yorker, I hardly knew what the Oscars were.
I watch the Oscars in my pajamas like everybody else.
Comedies don't get nominated for Oscars. It doesn't happen. So when we set out to do a movie, it's not what we're thinking about.
I think that if you go about making movies to win Oscars, you're really going about it the wrong way.
I won an Academy Award for 'The Cider House Rules,' playing an American.
'Cinema Paradiso' is a fantastic film, I love that.
I like to think of myself as a fairly educated human being, but I'm a very uneducated actor when it comes to movies, directors, producers, actors for that matter.
I want to be a part of the best movies that are being made, and to work with the best directors.
Great horror films don't win Academy Awards.
I've never gone to the Oscars because I can't afford another week away. It is not more important than my husband. It is not more important than my kids.
When I was growing up in the house, we'd watch the Oscars.
I love everything to do with movies.
When I was nine years old, I was in a movie called, 'Landlord' with Pearl Bailey, Lou Gossett, and Beau Bridges.
The Golden Thumb is not as good as the Oscar, but it is a lot of fun.
I love watching movies. I am a big movie buff.
I can't get enough of 'Pulp Fiction.' I just love it; it still holds up. And it didn't win Best Picture, by the way. Didn't win.
I've been to several international film festivals, including those in Locarno, Switzerland; Dubai; Russia; Berlin; Cannes; Bangkok; and Hong Kong.
I've been nominated twice before as actor in a leading part. Now I'm nominated as actor in a supporting part. If I don't win, I'll just wait until I'm nominated for being in the theater during the show. Do they have one like that?
The first time I went to Cannes, Gus Van Sant was there in competition with 'Last Days.'
There is a strange sort of reasoning in Hollywood that musicals are less worthy of Academy consideration than dramas. It's a form of snobbism, the same sort that perpetuates the idea that drama is more deserving of Awards than comedy.
I took the Oscars very seriously as a child.
