• [on the so-called “Oscar jinx”] The Oscar is the single most important event of my career. I have dined with kings, shared equal billing with my idols, lectured at Harvard and Columbia. If this is a jinx, I’ll take two. Even though I won the Oscar, I can still take the subway in New York, and nobody recognizes me. Some actors might find that disconcerting, but I find it refreshing.
• [accepting his Best Actor Oscar, 1985] It would be a lie if I told you I didn’t know what to say, because I’ve been working on this speech for about twenty-five years. But you’re not going to hear any of those speeches, because none of the speeches were less than forty-five seconds. You know, it’s easy to gamble everything when you’ve got nothing to lose, and Milos Forman had a great deal to lose when he gave these brilliant roles to Tom Hulce and me, and his courage became my inspiration. There’s only one thing that’s missing for me tonight, and that’s to have Tom Hulce standing by my side.
