Things with my dad were pretty good until I won an Academy Award. He was really loving to me until I got more attention than he did. Then he hated me.

I want to thank the Academy for its courage and generosity.

Just because you've made a couple movies you've done some good movies you've been nominated for some Academy Awards whatever nobody's entitled. It's a business. If they don't see it I can think they're wrong but I'm not entitled to a $15 million budget to make a film.

There's a lot of great movies that have won the Academy Award and a lot of great movies that haven't. You just do the best you can.

You will also allow me to thank the Academy for inviting me to lecture in Stockholm for its hospitality and for the opportunity afforded me for admiring the charm of your people and the beauty of your country.

Well it was the beginning of my film career. It was amazing to me that I got nominated for an Academy Award.

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.

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.
