I don't deserve this award but I have arthritis and I don't deserve that either.

My goals have changed throughout my life. At one time it was winning awards selling out concert dates selling more albums than anyone else. Now my goals are to see my grandchildren grown live a long and healthy life with my family and friends and travel the world.

I feel like if I won an award and I was giving my speech and the music started that's all I'd remember the humiliation I felt when the music started. It would mar the entire experience for me.

An Academy Award nomination is stuff dreams are made of.

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've never won an award for anything and I think it's weird. I mean that's really cool but it's strange to think you could get an award for acting. I always thought that was strange.

Most of an award-show host's job is showing up and keeping a cool head and soldiering through it whether it's the Oscars or the Hallmark Channel's 'Hero Dog Awards.'

Some people work hard in this business and become really popular really big stars but they never receive an award from within the business. Somehow when your colleagues and friends believe in you to the point of handing you an award it means so much more.

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.
