Demi Moore ha sido un ejemplo de inspiración, el pasado 5 de enero en los Golden Globes, su discurso fue muy inspirador, del cual podemos aprender bastante.
Oh wow, um, I really wasn’t expecting that.
Um, I’m just in shock right now. Um, I’ve been doing this a long time, like over 45 years, and this is the first time I’ve ever won anything as an actor. Um, and I’m just so humbled and so grateful.
Um, 30 years ago, I had a producer tell me that, um, I was a popcorn actress, and at that time, I made that mean that this wasn’t something that I was allowed to have—that I could do movies that were successful, that made a lot of money, but that I couldn’t be acknowledged. And I bought in, and I believed that. And that corroded me over time to the point where I thought a few years ago that maybe this was it. Maybe I was complete. Maybe I had done what I was supposed to do.
And as I was kind of at a low point, I had this magical, bold, courageous, out-of-the-box, absolutely bonkers script come across my desk called The Substance, and the universe told me that you’re not done.
And I am so grateful to Corly for trusting me to step in and play this woman, for Margaret for being the other half of me that I couldn’t have done without, for looking out for me.
Um, to the people who’ve been with me for over 30 years—Kevin, Euan, Jason Weinberg, everybody at CAA, Untitled Lead—all of the people who’ve stood by me, especially the people who believed in me when I haven’t believed in myself.
And I’ll just leave you with one thing that I think this movie is imparting: in those moments when we don’t think we’re smart enough or pretty enough or skinny enough or successful enough or basically just not enough, I had a woman say to me, “Just know you will never be enough, but you can know the value of your worth if you just put down the measuring stick.”
And so today, I celebrate this as a marker of my wholeness and of the love that is driving me, and for the gift of doing something I love and being reminded that I do belong.
Thank you so much.
¡Oh, wow! Um, realmente no estaba esperando esto. Um, estoy en shock ahora mismo. Um, he estado haciendo esto por mucho tiempo, como más de 45 años, y esta es la primera vez que gano algo como actriz. Um, estoy tan humilde y tan agradecida.
Hace 30 años, un productor me dijo que era una “actriz superficial”, y en ese momento interpreté que eso significaba que no era algo que pudiera tener. Que podía hacer películas exitosas que ganaran mucho dinero, pero que no podía ser reconocida. Me lo creí y lo acepté, y eso me corroyó con el tiempo, hasta el punto en que hace algunos años pensé que tal vez ya era suficiente, que había hecho lo que se suponía que debía hacer. Y en ese momento bajo, apareció un guion mágico, valiente, audaz, fuera de lo común, absolutamente loco en mi escritorio llamado The Substance. Y el universo me dijo que no había terminado.
Estoy tan agradecida con Corly por confiar en mí para interpretar a esta mujer, con Margaret por ser mi otra mitad, sin la cual no podría haberlo hecho, por cuidarme. Um, a las personas que han estado conmigo por más de 30 años: Kevin, Euan, Jason Weinberg, todos en CAA, Untitled Lead, y a todos los que han estado a mi lado, especialmente a quienes creyeron en mí cuando yo no creía en mí misma.
Quiero dejarles con algo que creo que esta película imparte: en esos momentos en los que no pensamos que somos lo suficientemente inteligentes, bonitas, delgadas, exitosas o, básicamente, simplemente no suficientes, una mujer me dijo: “Solo entiende que nunca serás suficiente, pero puedes conocer el valor de tu valía si simplemente dejas de medirlo”. Hoy celebro esto como un marcador de mi plenitud, del amor que me impulsa y del regalo de hacer algo que amo, recordando que pertenezco. Muchas gracias.
