Oscar Quotes - page 8

I didn't stop dreaming until I finished the film. But the dream was the movie, not the Oscar. (Salma Hayek)

I wasn't a kid growing up thinking, 'One day I'll get an Oscar and make a speech.' That wasn't on my mind.

Adam Sandler

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.

Adam Sandler

There is no such thing, wrote Oscar Wilde, as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. Presumably, then, Mein Kampf would have been all right had it been better written.

Anthony Daniels (psychiatrist)

It's not often that an English drummer gets an Oscar. So I'm very, very proud of that.

Phil Collins

As Oscar Wilde should have said, when bad ideas have nowhere else to go, they emigrate to America and become university courses.

Frederic Raphael

As happens with people who love a thing too much, it destroys them. Oscar Wilde said, 'You destroy the thing that you love.' It's the other way around. What you love destroys you.

George Plimpton

[At Princeton Samuel Wilks...] was the major interest for me... I did have a contact with Oscar Morgenstern... Von Neumann was developing theory of games at the time... but I must say, I really didn't understand it very well when he lectured it.

Theodore Wilbur Anderson

Oscar Hammerstein was a surrogate father during all those many days, and weeks and months when I didn't see my own father.

Stephen Sondheim

I could almost hear him scrabbling about in his brain for a deft, light opening. His Oscar Wilde touch. Martland has only two personalities – Wilde and Eeyore.

Kyril Bonfiglioli

Comedians don't get Oscars, so I gave up on that a long time ago. And I can't really speak about the Oscar worthiness of my own performance. (Steve Martin)

The Oscar nomination is great. It's a great pat on the back. And I like that.

Jeff Bridges

'Champagne' and 'breathmint' are the first two words all Oscar winners hear.

Michael Moore

I never place limits on the potential success of my students. If they're going into acting, they're going to win the Oscar... If they're going into law, they're going to be chief justice.

Alan Dershowitz

Well, the way things are going, aside from wheat and auto parts, America's biggest export is now the Oscar.

Billy Crystal

The Oscar is not a curse. The real curse is that once you have an Oscar they think you can do anything.

Luise Rainer

I can safely say that no one who has ever won an Oscar didn't want to win an Oscar.

Val Kilmer

Hopefully, I can play both sides of the fence. That's probably what winning the Oscar gives me, the chance to do something with a studio and do other things that I really want to do.

Benicio Del Toro

My goal as an actor has always been to reach a level where I can find a lot of interesting work, and I think I'm at that point now. The Oscar has given me a lot of recognition.

Benicio Del Toro

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.

Benicio Del Toro

So I won an Oscar. It's amazing. I've got that for the rest of my life for a performance I am proud of. It nearly killed me. I am really proud of the film. That's it, moving on. (Kate Winslet)

...I have not even been nominated for one. But it doesn't affect me any more. This is the great thing about getting old: things that preoccupied you when you were young cease to preoccupy you. I would have loved to have had one Oscar. Well, too bad. I have six sheep, two dogs, two children.

Isabella Rossellini

I don't care who you are. When you sit down to write the first page of your screenplay, in your head, you're also writing your Oscar acceptance speech.

Nora Ephron

You can't, or you shouldn't, be nominated for an Oscar unless you've turned in a performance that's special.

Rita Moreno

I absolutely love Oscar. So classic. So timeless.

Nicole Richie
