Basically the movies I make are my life, so I choose how I want to live my life for the next two years. So that's a decision I have to make.

I was just 18 and you shouldn’t be thinking about that. You should be thinking about building up your character and having fun and the song was just telling everyone just forget what people are saying. You’re bootylicious. That’s all. It’s a celebration of curves and a celebration of women’s bodies.

Oscar is the exact opposite of how I think you should behave. I just think of it as a negative view of the positive mind I have.
