Oscars Backstage 2013: The 10 Best Things Said Offscreen At The Academy Awards (PHOTOS)

This year's Academy Awards may have been full of zingers and inappropriate Seth MacFarlane jokes, but some of the best banter took place backstage in the interview room where all the winners were harassed by a sea of reporters.

Questions ranged from the boring ("How does it feel to be a winner?") to the completely off-topic ("Are you able to attend this teeny-tiny press event in Timbuktu next week?") to the provocative ("Did you like the Boob song?") to the very direct ("Are you impressed with yourself?")

With the winners riding a wave of excitement, shock and alcohol, the very best things said at the Oscars were most likely not aired on television. Herewith are the top quotes of the night from behind the scenes:

• Christoph Waltz On The Possibility Of A Black Pope:

  "It would be exciting. I am a very adamant non-racist. I don?t care whether the Pope is black or white or whatever color. If we are non-racists, then we have to stay non-racist all the way."

• Daniel Day-Lewis On Whether His Lincoln Beard Was Uncomfortable:

  "What do you mean? No, it's just a beard. Do you wear your hair? It was my very own beard."

• Quentin Tarantino On Anatomy:

  "I don?t quite understand the question, but I guess I do think there are bones in the human body."

• Quentin Tarantino On The Planet Earth:

  "The way I look at it is, I'm not an American filmmaker. I'm an American. And I'm a filmmaker. I make movies for the planet Earth."

• Jennifer Lawrence On Getting Ready For The Oscars:

  "The process today was so stressful. I felt like Steve Martin in 'Father Of The Bride' watching my house being torn apart."

• Jennifer Lawrence On Tripping On Stage:

  "Was the fall on purpose? Absolutely. What do you mean what happened?! Look at my dress. I tried to walk up stairs in this dress. And I think I just stepped on the fabric?and they waxed the stairs."

• George Clooney & Ben Affleck On When They Felt Things Tip In Their Favor:

  Clooney: "Michelle Obama." Affleck: "When they gave us the trophies I was confident that we would win."

• Anne Hathaway On Science:

  "The miracle of the universe is that, as far as they know, there's 51% matter versus 47% anti-matter. Things tip in the scale of the positive. I live my life with love and compassion and hoping the very best for everyone, no matter how they feel about me. When you live that way, it's amazing how beautiful every day can be."

• Adele On Party Rocking:

  "I think I might go to the Vanity Fair party. But I have to get up at 6AM. One glass of champagne and I'm gone these days."

• Ang Lee On Stress:

  "I think it's a miracle that I could make this movie. I carried anxiety around about it for four years."
