Quote from an interview with the screenwriter of Rush
http://www.thewrap.com/racing-legend-niki-laudas-2-requests-to-the-makers-of-rush/
As Morgan remembered it, the conversation – which took place when the screenplay was just a spec script without a director or studio attached – went something like this:
Lauda: “Are we going to the Oscars?”
Morgan: “I don’t think so, Niki. No one’s going to the Oscars with this movie.”
Lauda: “Why? Are you s**t ? Should I be doing this with someone else? Are you a loser?”
Morgan: “I’m just trying to write the screenplay, Niki. I don’t even know if we’re going to get the movie made.”
Lauda: “I’m not doing this unless 100 percent I’m going to the Oscars.”
Morgan: “OK Niki, we’re going to the Oscars. That’s a promise.”
Lauda: “Can I go and get myself a tuxedo?”
Morgan: “Yes, Niki, get yourself a tuxedo.”
Lauda: “Good. I’ve got a young wife. She thinks this s**t is interesting. I think it’s a waste of time, but I want to make her happy. So don’t let me down.”
Morgan shook his head and laughed. “I promise you, that’s what it’s like with Niki.”
