00:00I just have to say one thing, Edwina, that was so moving, thank you so much.

00:07Edwina lived with us for several months. We took you in.

00:17And I just want to say really, really briefly that, you know, they say that

00:24when the last person who has a memory of you dies, that's when you'll truly be dead.

00:33And what's so moving about that, Edwina, is maybe this is my time in this life that

00:43I feel like we left something in you, not just for you.

00:49That makes everything worthwhile.

00:56Almost 14 years ago, we planted a seed in Hollywood, and we just kept watering that seed.

01:04The roots got deeper and deeper. That seed produced a tree that produced fruit,

01:11and that fruit is Juvie Productions.

01:19Our little systems, they have their day.

01:29They have their day and cease to be.

01:33They are but broken lights of Thee, and Thou, O Lord, art more than they.

01:42We all live under the same sky.

01:50God is.

01:55Thank you, Variety, and all the sponsors and everyone who made this special night happen.

02:01We remain inspired.

02:04Thank you to the Juvie Table.

02:07Kaylin, Amanda, Jackie, Veronique.

02:13That's it.

02:15Yes, Theo, and our beautiful 14-year-old daughter.

02:20Our beautiful 14-year-old daughter, Genesis.

02:22Genesis, my heart, my love.

02:24And Andrew Wayne, who couldn't be with us.

02:27Yes.

02:29Blessings to all.

02:30Blessings to all.

02:32We're going to make it short and sweet. Love you.

02:34Thank you so much.
