(While accepting the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award) I’ve been thinking about why you have to get famous to get an award for helping other people…If your name is John Doe, and you work night and day doing things for your helpless neighbors, what you get for your effort is tired. So, Mr. and Mrs. Doe, and all of you who give of yourselves, to those who carry too big a burden to make it on their own, I want you to reach out and take your share of this…Because if I have earned it, so too have you.
