I wish there were fewer of them only because I wish there were other things on television. It really makes no difference. They go to the Golden Globes obviously because it's a lovely party, but they also want to know who the front-runners for the Oscars are. It all pays off on the Oscars. You'll notice that there's no award show that follows the Oscars.
Film stars are the common denominator, the common language.
Well, I love the hype because I think that's what generates the audience. Obviously, the most appealing thing to me is to have a big audience. But with regard to the hype and how it affects me personally, frankly, it really doesn't affect me very much. There's a point at which it's not the number, it's the quality of the work. Well, there's one time when someone snuck in, which was outrageous because he got himself into big trouble, and I don't think I should even get into that.
