So many people who have been nominated for an Oscar have had bad luck afterwards.

My specialties are corpses, unconscious people and people snoring in spectacular epics.

30 years and 55 pictures - not more than five that were any good, or any good for me.

It's not as bad as people think it is. Offensively, you need a little luck. And we just haven't had any.

Luck? I don't know anything about luck. I've never banked on it and I'm afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work - and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't.

We're going to need some luck. We have to have some people lose.
