"I just, uh, I was just reminded of all the other performances when I was up there watching. And I, Chloe's at my table. And she's so amazing to me, and uh, it always feels funny that we're all in competition. But, um. I, I, just can't believe I'm standing here right now in front of everybody. And, and I can't believe that we were able to do this film. And I, I love being an actress so much. And I was able to have this experience where we could be so brave and so open with each other.

"I had to bring my brother up here...he just had to see the view from up here. This means so much to me because this film means so much to me. The experience of it, just being with people and being together and just exposing ourselves to each other and taking care of each other, that's really what we should be doing everyday. And uh thank you so much for letting me be free and telling me it's Ok. Ah, Winona thank you so much for all your hard work and you are so brilliant in this film and you should be up here with me. Columbia pictures, and all the producers and all the girls. And ah the Foreign Press. Thank you, you guys are so kind to me. I must be paying you or something...but thank you very much."
