I think they're bogus, honestly. How utter garbage like Crash and Million Dollar Baby can win best picture, where true works of art such as Garden State go untouched is beyond me. It just proves how close-minded America really is, and I refuse to take part in it.

You never see yourself as that interesting. You're like, 'Really? Me? You want a picture with me? I'm boring!' But if I saw somebody like Simon Pegg or Johnny Depp, or one of my heroes, I'd get totally starstruck and want to go ask them for a picture.

It was just a wonderful experience, one for the memory book for sure. The sad thing about it was that the picture came under this absurd cloud of controversy. Here was a movie based on the central theme that racism is something that is taught, and it's illustrated by this story of a dog and the efforts of humans to re-train it after it had been trained to go after black people. And it created this ridiculous controversy and wound up being the last Hollywood movie that Sam [Fuller] made.
Curtis Hanson

We knew it would be difficult. But I would have absolutely kicked myself if I hadn`t done this.
Tom Cruise
-

Pierre Bonnard
-
I had to find a way in each picture to change the drawing, shaping and tactile qualities to make these elements expressive; as the color had subsumed the possibility the possibility of these parts being on a equal basis of expressiveness.
Kenneth Noland
