“Don't get me wrong: I would not say no to an Oscar!” — Carice van Houten Quote

“Don't get me wrong: I would not say no to an Oscar!”

“My father is a silent cinema freak, so he took me to 1925 silent films that took forever, like 5-hour movies, but I've seen a lot of that stuff since I was young. And then I saw the film 'Annie,' and I just wanted to be Annie; I just wanted to be that orphan kid and wanted to sing and dance.”

“For a while, I thought that I was only going to be cast in Second World War films.”

“I gave John Wayne the push he needed to get that Oscar.”

“In my previous profession, when I was a producer, scriptwriter and actor, I wanted to get an Oscar, I wanted to be popular in the U.S.A.”

“Stuntmen bring a lot to the film industry, especially in action films, but if you start trying to give an Oscar for a stuntman, say he doubled a star, I think that takes away from the star's value.”
