French actress Marion Cotillard, to reporters backstage after being awarded the Oscar for her lead role as Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose.

"I'm a very big fan of Peter Sellers. I wanted to marry him when I was a child."

"Does this town need a hug? What happened? No Country For Old Men, Sweeney Todd, There Will be Blood - all I can say is thank God for teen pregnancy."
