Here is the result in plain text:
I had a woman say to me, “Just know you will never be enough, but you can know the value of your worth if you just put down the measuring stick.” And so today I celebrate this as a marker of my wholeness and of the love that is driving me, and for the gift of doing something I love.
Our ignorance and discomfort around disability and disfigurement has to end now.
In these troubled times, I hope “Emilia Pérez” will be a beacon of light.
I can’t even explain how “Baby Reindeer” has changed my life, so thank you for everything. I know that 8-year-old me wouldn’t, either.
Thank you to the voters for voting for me — even though I would vote for Kathy Bates any day.
In that moment, I was completely myself. I’d like to say for the young actors and creators in the world: Please be yourself, believe yourself, and never give up. Good luck.
So maybe you don’t know me: I’m an actor from Japan. My name is Tadanobu Asano. Wow!
A lot of people sometimes ask me why “Baby Reindeer,” why a show this dark, has gone on to be the success that it’s had, and I think, in a lot of ways, people were crying out for something that kind of spoke to kind of the painful inconsistencies of being human.
My parents came to this country and loved “The Wizard of Oz.” They told us about the yellow brick road and the rainbow, a place over the rainbow, all your dreams come true if you dare to dream it. So when I’m up here looking at you, living the dream and looking at this beautiful, beautiful cast — it is more beautiful than I ever thought it could be.
