The Nicest Goddamn Dame That Ever Lived

I was eight years old when I decided to be an actor. And I am just so privileged to be gazing on the beautiful face of the woman who inspired me that beautiful day, and that’s Cicely Tyson.

And when I woke up and realized how difficult it was to be an actor, and how the rejection was so high, then another beautiful face graced the screen when I was in college, and that was Meryl, who just …always inspires me.

But there’s so many people involved in The Help, in lieu of mentioning all them, I just have to say that, what is there but a dream? You can’t trade in your dream for another dream. I am so proud to be an actor, and I thank the Screen Actors Guild for this award.

And I have a special, special note to the kids in Central Falls, Rhode Island, in Segue Institute of Learning in Central Falls, Rhode Island: to dream big and dream fierce.

Thank you very much.

My boy came to your school because they were going to kill him in the public school. His father don’t like him. He come to your school, the kids don’t like him. 

One man is good to him, this priest. And does the man have his reasons, yes? Everybody does. You have your reasons but do I ask the man why he’s good to my son? No. I don’t care why. My son needs some man to care about him and to see him through the way he wants to go.

And thank God this educated man with some kindness in him wants to do just that.

It’s just till June.
