“When Marlee [Matlin] won her Oscar, she said, "and I just want to thank my parents." When I was saying those words for her, I knew my parents were in the audience. I was saying it for her and a little bit for myself, even though I wasn't saying it in sign language and they didn't understand what I was saying.” WantLittlesSaidLanguageBitsParentAudienceLittle BitOscarsSign Language Author:Jack Jason
“I always get a little bit pissed off when stand-up comedy is not recognised as being as good a craft as being an actor. We give Oscars to people and it's like, 'Aw, this person is the greatest person on earth', but being an actor is pretty easy in comparison to stand-up comedy. It's no surprise that several stand-up comics have gone on to become great actors. I don't know any great actors that have gone on to become great stand-up comics.” PeopleKnowsGivingLittlesPersonsEarthActorsEasyBitsGoneComedyLittle BitSurpriseCraftsComparisonOscarsGreat ActorsPissed OffStand Up Comedy Author:Jim Jefferies

“I have every iPod that's been made ˘ that's how sick I am. I carry anything and everything I possibly would want to listen to. I have a lot of jazz. I adore Ralph Towner, Leo Kottke. I've always been a big Oscar Peterson fan. I've branched out a little bit more in rock-and-roll, but that's maybe because I'm 50 years old and I can now listen to Steely Dan again without shame. I adore the Grateful Dead. Creedence Clearwater Revival. Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. All that's been fun to get back into. But I'm no longer interested in the Doobie Brothers.” WantYearsLittlesMadeStillsI CanBigsYoungFunBitsFansRocksBrotherLittle BitSickShameGratefulJazzGet BackOscarsRock And RollAdoreRevivalIpodsAnything And EverythingCrosbySteely Dan Author:Thomas Hampson
“I was a boy with one dream and one dream only: I wanted - no, strike that, I was desperate for - a room of my own. You see, in those days I shared a room with my little brother, Jesse, and it wasn't pretty.
