During her speech, she recalled a movie producer calling her a “popcorn actress.” She continued, “At that time, I made that mean that this wasn’t something that I was allowed to have. 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’ve done what I was supposed to do.” Then, she received the script for The Substance. “The universe told me that you’re not done.”

“I’ll just leave you with one thing that I think this movie is imparting,” she continued. “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.'”
