Speech:
I gotta add this to my Tinder profile.
(laughter)
Thank you my brothers, my sisters. This means so much, um, more than I can possibly fathom.
I want you to know, I watch everything. I watch you all. And the work has been mesmerizing. So I thank you.
I want to thank my co-stars: Leo, Margot Robbie, Margot Robbie's feet, Margaret Qualley's feet, Dakota Fanning's feet. Seriously, Quentin has separated more women from their shoes than the TSA.
[Applause]
Now we all know what we do is a team sport. And we elevate each other. And I got to work with some amazing, amazing people: Mr. Pacino, Mr. Dern, Kurt Russell, Leo, Dakota, um, um...Tim. Wait, ah, ah, where are you guys? Miss Butters. A bunch of the new generation, Margaret Qualley, Austin Butler. Anyway, you all, you all elevated my game. I certainly hope I did the same for you.
Um, let's be honest. It was a difficult part. The guy who gets high, takes his shirt off and doesn't get on with his wife.
(laughter)
It’s a big stretch.
(laughter)
It's big.
[Applause]
Listen, I love our communities. I love our community so much. It's been amazing to me. Each... I've met so many amazing people along the way. Each of us in this room you know, we know pain, we know loneliness, we bring that to the screen. We know moments of grace, we've had moments of wisdom, we bring that to the screen. We've all had a laugh at our ridiculousness and we know funny and we bring that to the screen. And goddamn, I think that's a worthy endeavor.
[Applause]
I've been banging away at this thing for 30 years. I think, I think the simple math is some projects work and some don't and there's no reason to belabor either one. Just get on to the next and keep telling stories.
Thank you for this.
[Applause]
My love and respect.
Enjoy the evening because tomorrow it's back to work.
