Into the Breach with the Oscar speech: Billy Ray
"I think about Oscars all the time. Academy Awards mean the world to me," Breach director Billy Ray confesses to St. Paul Pioneer Press' Chris Hewitt. 
"The writers and directors I measure myself against—Francis Ford Coppola, Spielberg, Bob Fosse—all won Oscars, and I want to be on that list. Those awards are hugely important to me, and anyone who knows me will tell you I talk about them all the time.... I don't think I've ever been without an Oscar acceptance speech... Whatever I'm working on, I'm always fantasizing I'll get to do it. That's why you work so hard in this business—to get to make that speech."
