My mom. My mom was and is a great teacher. You know, she's... In a large part, I dedicated my Oscar speech to my mother. And I had an opportunity. I always think, like... By the way, I never thought that I would win a single award in my entire life.

Never, never, never, never, never would happen to me. Never, ever. So I was like, well, I'm going to use this as an opportunity to really thank the people in my life that have inspired and encouraged me. And first and foremost, that's my mom. And my mom, she was a single mom. We grew up really poor. And, you know, like food stamp poor. I was born in Louisiana, as was my brother.

And, you know, my mother was high school dropout, but put herself back through school with two kids, single mom, and got a nursing degree. Wow. and really worked and fought really hard to make a better life for herself and her kids.

And I saw that and I saw her do, if there was a shift that came up, she would take that. I saw her do those extra, I don't know, but they were these really long shifts, at least 12 hours.
