Quote of the Day: Ke Huy Quan

Quan gave an emotional acceptance speech tonight

The Golden Globes were handed out tonight and we love Ke Huy Quan's acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actor in Everything Everywhere All At Once.

He became famous as a child actor in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom 38 years ago. After that Quan doubted himself and his ability to keep going in acting.

But almost four decades later he has affirmed to himself and the rest of the world that he deserves to be on the stage.

Here's his speech:

Wow. Thank you. Thank you so much. 

I was raised to never forget where I came from and to always remember who gave me my first opportunity. I am so happy to see Steven Spielberg here tonight. Steven, thank you. 

When I started my career as a child actor in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, I felt I felt so very lucky to have been chosen. As I grew older, I started to wonder if that was it. If it was just luck, through so many years, I was afraid I had nothing more to offer, that no matter what I did, I would, I would never surpass what I achieved as a kid. 

Thankfully, more than 30 years later, two guys thought of me. They remembered that kid and they gave me an opportunity to try again. Everything that has happened since has been unbelievable. Daniel Kwan, Daniel Scheinert, thank you so so much for helping me find my answer. You have given me more than I could have ever hoped. 

Thank you to the Hollywood foreign press Association for this incredible honour. Thank you to A24 Ley Line Entertainment and Agbo. 

Thank you to our incredible producer Jonathan Wong. Thank you to Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis, Stephanie Hsu, and our entire EEAAO family. And last but not least, I want to say the most important person in my life, the one person that never stopped believing in me, my wife Echo, I love you with all my heart. 

Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
