Congrats Monique, Well Deserved !

On winning: “Everything I wanted, everything I waited for, is here. I am a stand-up comedian who won an Oscar! [laughs] Oh, baby, I tickle me! You know, this role was so not about my acting career. This role has shaped my life and allowed me not to judge and to love unconditionally. If that goes into my career, great, but if it doesn’t and I’m just the dynamic person that I strive to be every day, then I’ve won, baby!”
On seeing any of herself in Mary Jones: “Yes, and I’ll ask you, have you ever had a dark moment? Did you feel unloved? Everyone has some Mary Jones in them.”
On what she would say to the other Preciouses of the world: “You can. You will. And I did.”
On returning to her normal life: “You know, I’ve said this before. When I am at home, I am Sidney Hicks’s wife and mother of two.
On her speech: “Everything I wanted to say and everything I needed to say, I say.”
On the criticism she received for not promoting enough: “I’m very proud to be part of an academy that says we will not play that game. We will judge her on her performance, not how many dinners she attended.”

LOL @ Sam !
