“King Richard was a staunch defender of his family, at this time in my life I am overwhelmed by what God asks me to do and be. I was called in this life to love and protect people, I must be a river for them. To do what we do, we need to be able to put up with those who speak badly, who do not show respect. You have to keep a smile, show that everything is fine.
I want to be a vehicle of love, I want to thank Serena and Venus and the whole Williams family for entrusting me with their story. I want to be an ambassador of this kind of love, care and attention. I would like to apologize to the Academy and my other colleagues and candidates. This is a beautiful moment and I’m not crying because I won an Oscar but because it is possible to cast light on the cast, the crew and the Willams family.
Art imitates life and I’m acting like a crazy pope like Richard, but love makes me do crazy things. Life right now is complicated for me. I thank the Academy and I hope they invite me again on this stage ”.
