“I’ma little weepy,” she admitted in her conversation with Kotb and co-anchorSavannah Guthrie, tearing up as she viewed a clip of her speech for the first time.
TheKnives Outactress went on to say that she wanted to spotlight “friendship” with her win, as “the truth of the matter is the people I really wanted to thank and I didn’t were my friends.”
“My friends who wanted this for me before I ever, ever would have dreamt of wanting it. And I really do feel like ‘we,’ " she continued. “Because the longing for attention and appreciation for your work is universal. I don’t care whatever job you do, you hope someone appreciates you.”
