Last night was quite possibly the most surreal moment of my life. Over the last 20 years I’ve been lucky enough to have the opportunity to grind my way thru this town, and this business. My journey has been an incredibly blessed one, but also not without its stumbles, struggles, darkness, and doubt. I’ve always believed that this was what I was created to do, but have also always known that there are no guarantees in this life. Truth is, I nearly gave up on the whole damn thing. Because of some bad programming I received as a kid, and despite the incredible jobs that I had been a part of, I still felt like a failure. That I had not, and would not, accomplish what I always thought I could or would or should. And then, perhaps in my darkest dark, I was able to save my own life thru the love and support and my friends and family, and the help of incredible professionals who took my hand and gently walked me back to understanding and loving myself, perhaps for the first time in my entire life. There is not a doubt in my mind that I was only standing on that red carpet last night BECAUSE I first learned to love myself while standing OFF of it. Words will continue to fail me as I will continue to thank all those who have helped get me here, but that won’t stop me from trying. I am so incredibly thankful to warnerbrosentertainment, newlinecinema, dccomics, ponysmasher, and Peter Safran for believing in me, and trusting me with this role and responsibility. You have quite literally changed my life in the most incredible of ways. There are not enough words to express my gratitude. There simply are not. 昨晚可能是我一生中最难忘的时刻,在过去的20年里,我很幸运能有机会在这座城市里、在这个行业中不断磨练自己砥砺前行。这一路走来我的人生是非常幸运的,但也经历过磕磕碰碰、挣扎、黑暗和怀疑。我始终相信,我生来就要为此而付出,不过我也一直都知道,人生可没有绝对的保证。事实上,因为小时候没有受到很好的培养我差点就放弃了这一切,尽管我之前参与过一些了不起的工作,但我依然觉得自己很失败。那些我有能力、我愿意、我应该做成的事儿,自始至终我都没有完成。然后,在我最低谷的时期,我能够依靠家人和朋友的爱与支持,在业内同行的帮助下,重拾了对生活的信心和对自己的和解与肯定,这或许是我人生中第一次经历这样的事。毫无疑问,正因为我头一回开始学会了爱自己,才让我坚定地站在了昨晚的红毯上。此时此刻我都有些词穷了,但我还要感谢所有帮助我站在这里的人,我不会停下探索的步伐。非常感谢华纳兄弟影业、新线影业、DC、大卫·F·桑德伯格,还要感谢彼特·萨法兰对我的信任,将这个角色和这份责任托付给我。你真的用最不可思议的方式改变了我的人生,我已经无法用语言来表达我的感激之情了。
