Oscars Quotations | Page 2

I've won several Emmys, a Tony and a Grammy, so maybe somebody will let me have an Oscar, and then I'll have a full set.

I would be happy if they just gave out nominations and there weren't any Oscars. But winning them is definitely an experience - to get up there and make a speech. Every film is hard work, and a few lucky people do get Oscars for what they do, and it's recognition for all that hard work on a certain level.

I just remember Kathy Bates getting on the stage and "The Oscar goes to Anthony Hopkins." I looked around, because I really thought Nick Nolte would get it. I really thought Nick would get it. I was very surprised. It was neck and neck with Nick Nolte and myself. So I really was expecting that to happen, and I went in there without any expectations.

Aw, man, they gave 'em the Oscar on stage. Next they're gonna give the Oscars in the parking lot. It'll be like a drive-through Oscar lane. You get an Oscar and a McFlurry and keep on moving.

I guess this proves there are as many nuts in the Academy as anywhere else.

Consistency is the last refuge of the unimagininative.

The only thing in the world worse than being Oscar Wilde is not being Oscar Wilde.

I don't have any ambition to make lots of money or win an Oscar or anything like that. It's not about that for me.

I think that the Oscar gives you some kind of guts or something, it gives you the illusion that you can do it. It's good for business.

I won and I get to scream and jump a little. But I got to go back to work tomorrow.
