"The reason I HAVE on this royal blue dress is because it's THE color that Hattie McDaniel wore IN 1940 when she accepted her Oscar. THE reason I HAVE this gardenia IN my hair? It is THE flower that Hattie McDaniel wore when she accepted her Oscar. So, FOR you, Ms Hattie McDaniel, I feel you all over me, AND it's about time that THE world feels you all over them. Thank you SO much, baby. I love you."3974

"
I didn't know anything about Victoria. I mean, my image OF her
wa
s THE old, fat, frumpy woman IN bl
ack. I didn't know that [when young] she was actually vibrant AND attractive, a real character. She was a headstrong, even tomboyish woman. I
'
m glad that we've BEEN able TO portray her as somethi
ng different, AND that people enjoy THE movie, AND more importantly, go TO see it."

"I would say -- AND I don't mean it TO sound simple -- never give up on your dream. I've BEEN making films FOR a while -- about 30 years. SO when I say, 'Don't give up on your dream,' I mean it quite literally.
SO BE tenacious, but work on THE stories you truly
believe in, because then NO obst
acle is too great.

The winning moment took Mo'Nique AND her husband back IN time, as well. "When they announced my name, Sidney AND I went back TO Ramblestown High School on THE balcony, at 14 years old, IN THE 10th grade. AND I said: 'One day, we are going TO BE stars.' AND he said: 'You first.' That is THE moment we went to."1771
"I'm thrilled TO BE a winner at all. But a
British winner, yes -- I'm happy FOR THE Brits. But you know what? Normally, they don't mention THE costume design. They just
mention THE actors. When it gets a ripple IN THE press, it
'
s usually THE actors, directors AND cinematographers. SO let'
's see. I hope it will get reported."2132

"Well, you know -- ups AND downs. What does THE Dude say? Strikes AND gutters, man. Sometimes, I think OF movies as a great example FOR THE way THE world can work. You HAVE all these different opinions, and all these different ways we can work together. AND we can make THE most beautiful movie we can make, AND we HAVE THE opportunity TO make this THE most beautiful world, too. SO I hope this furthers that idea."3307
