If I Feel Like I've Reached This Greatness In My Career Than There's No More Room For Growth. I Don't Think I'm Ever Going To Get There. If I Ever Get Complacent, It's Time For Me To Bow Out.

I Feel Like I'm Already A Winner. I've Made So Many Dreams Come True. I'm Here. Whether You Walk Away With A Statue [ Emmy]or Not, You Shouldn't Make It About It That Necessarily. Everyone Who's Here In This House Tonight Is A Winner.

Katherine Johnson Passion For Math, The Way I Light Up When I Get Asked Questions About Acting Is The Way Her Eyes Danced When She Talked About Math And How She Wanted People To Fall In Love With Numbers The Way That She Did. If I Had A Teacher Like That, I Could Have Been A Rocket Scientist.
