oscar

I am the prince of procrastination. It is my besetting sin. I never put off till tomorrow what I can possibly do - the day after

Praise makes me humble, but when I am abused, I know that I have touched the stars.

Oscar may be the world__ most glorious way of honoring your work, but the real award for a filmmaker is the contentment which you receive from making your film.

A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.

Man is complete in himself. When they go into the world, the world will disagree with them. That is inevitable. The world hates Individualism. But that is not to trouble them. They are to be calm and self-centred. If a man takes their cloak, they are to give him their coat, just to show that material things are of no importance. If people abuse them, they are not to answer back. What does it signify? The things people say of a man do not alter a man. He is what he is. Public opinion is of no value whatsoever. Even if people employ actual violence, they are not to be violent in turn. That would be to fall to the same low level. After all, even in prison, a man can be quite free. His soul can be free. His personality can be untroubled. He can be at peace. And, above all things, they are not to interfere with other people or judge them in any way. Personality is a very mysterious thing. A man cannot always be estimated by what he does. He may keep the law, and yet be worthless. He may break the law, and yet be fine. He may be bad, without ever doing anything bad. He may commit a sin against society, and yet realise through that sin his true perfection.

Moonstruck... was one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.

Winning 'Motor Trend' Car of the year is probably the closest thing to winning the Oscar or Emmy of the car industry.

None of my costume designers have ever been nominated for an Oscar 'cause I don't do period movies that have ball scenes with a hundred extras in them.

January is the garbage can of movies in America, directly after all the Oscar contenders have been out.

It's much more straightforward to get finance when you have an Oscar.

Would you like to know the great drama of my life? It is that I have put my genius into my life...I have put only my talent into my works.

Cheap editions of great books may be delightful, but cheap editions of great men are absolutely detestable

Any fool can make history, but it takes a genius to write it.

Oh, I__ sorry. Did you want a fan club? You are right. I loved the movie, and you were perfect in it, you were absolutely amazing. Definitely Oscar material.
