Q.Two Oscars out of the last three years, how does that make you feel?
A.Guess.  It was, I think, like five minutes ago, I got this, or seven.  I was on a list with greatest actors around, with Robert De Niro, with Alan Arkin, with Tommy Lee Jones with Philip Seymour Hoffman.  How do you think someone feels when all of a sudden his name is called in that context?  I can’t tell you.  I’m sorry.

Q.So, this is the second, Best Supporting Actor Oscar that you’ve gotten for work by Quentin Tarantino.  Has he talked to you about a third role in his revisionist history trilogy?
A.No.  As I said, this is about seven minutes old.  Somehow I failed to catch the moment to remind Quentin that I’m around.
