Happy birthday!
-Thank you very much. -What did you do to celebrate yesterday?
Well, I went to the Independent Spirit Awards, and I won, and then I had dinner with the
12 Years A Slave crew.
-Nice. That's a good way to celebrate. -Not bad.
How am I staying humble? Um, I don't know. I guess I'm surrounding myself with my family,
who've known me before this and who bully me still to this day. There's my brother.
He's my date, and yeah I think they keep me grounded. They remind me what's important
and what's not.
And after a role like this and earning a nomination on your first time out, how do you select
the next role?
First you sleep. I need to find time to sleep, and then you just exercise patience and know
that if it's happened once, it can happen again.
What would an Oscar win tonight mean for you?
A lot.
