Actor Christoph Waltz has revealed he found his second Academy Award to be ''consolidating'."
The 58-year-old Austrian star, who won his first Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Colonel Hans Landa in the 2009 Quentin Tarantino film Inglourious Basterds, and a second gong for his role as King Schultz in Django Unchained, revealed that the second award had a "different connotation."
Speaking to The Times newspaper, Waltz said: ''The second one had a completely different connotation and quality. It was consolidating. It was not so much ego as securing something that I had perceived as precarious.
''It said that it wasn't a coincidence, I wasn't going to vanish as quickly as I came, but that people wanted to work with me and with what I had to offer.''
