“I think everyone knew about the Oscar nomination except for me. I was asleep and didn’t turn on my phone. Last night I got an email from someone at Netflix saying, Look no matter what we’re so proud of, it’s such a great movie and such a great performance. I mean, it was a lovely, beautiful email. And I said: Oh, God, it will happen tomorrow! I’m a father of three little kids and I’m on my own, my wife is in New York, so I’m trying to get them ready for school and get them in a car, get the day going. But I realized: Oh my phone, I better check! Just as we were finishing breakfast. So I turned it on (starts laughing) and explained to three slightly confused little faces what it meant and why I was laughing and smiling so much, and they had different answers. I’m not talking about my private life, but that is something I’m willing to share. It was a lovely time to have with my children.”
