"With the whole Oscars thing, there was a big gap between what I thought the problem was versus what the problem really was. I got ten years where I made sure not to joke or play in the way that I did back then because it was a problem."
Hart continued to the publication:
"It wasn’t until close friends like Wanda Sykes, Lee Daniels, and Ellen (Degeneres) talked to me and explained what they didn’t hear me say that I understood. Then I was like, ‘Oh, sh*t. I did f*ck up.'"
