#shelf

And the whole Oscar thing, that is just surreal: you spend months and months doing promotion, and then come back to reality with this golden thing in your hands. You put it in the office and then you just have to look at it sitting on the shelf. And, after about two weeks, you go: 'What is that doing there?' ↗

There's no reason to keep a piece of furniture in your house that is so sacred and rare that you can't put your feet up on it and a dog can't jump up on it. Likewise, a book that sits on a shelf like a piece of porcelain, only to be admired, never to be read again, is a dead book. ↗

I don't mind if my skull ends up on a shelf as long as it's got my name on it. ↗

The Oscar sits on some shelf above my desk. If there was an earthquake, I could actually be killed by my own Academy Award. ↗
